Critic Reviews

  • Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

    The movie has a lovely paranoia about it that Pearce, as Memento and L.A. Confidential told us, is a master at conveying.

  • Sheri Linden, Hollywood Reporter

    A fresh, intelligent and thoroughly involving psychological thriller.

  • Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

    I was beguiled by both the eerie moods and the striking compositions, which incorporate large stretches of empty space.

  • Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune

    A smart, tense modern film noir.

  • Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

    The film has some of the bleak inevitability of Jim Jarmusch's Dead Man, but without the compelling characters and oddball twists.

    This was a movie...that you either like or don't..as with any other, however it also might appeal to those who delve a little deeper into the subject at hand. I almost skipped rie over this flick, but somehow I'm glad that I didn't at all. First of all, with having a… More
