Critic Reviews

Emanuel Levy, Variety
Lacking genuine suspense, erotic charge, and intriguing characters, all crucial elements of good film noir, Shainberg's feature debut is arguably the weakest adaptation of beloved crime novelist Jim Thompson to reach the big screen to date.

Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
A weak noir rendition of Thompson's novel, thematically and stylistically, the movie leaves a lot to be desired

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
The story works best as a spoiler pouring ice water over those who think they can rise above their stations in life.

Maitland McDonagh, Film Journal International
Feels 100-percent false, stagy and stylish.
