Critic Reviews
-
Anna Smith, Time Out
A film that might, in America, star Jason Statham or even Steven Seagal.
-
Tom Dawson, Total Film
Sweeping landscape shots and the reliable presence of Sergi López, here playing a scarred private investigator, can't distract from the clichés of a particularly dim-witted script.
-
Philip French, Observer [UK]
There's perhaps a little too much running and chasing but the pace doesn't let up, the end is an authentic cliffhanger, and Alice Taglioni gives an attractive performance as a plainclothes cop.
-
Xan Brooks, Guardian [UK]
A rough diamond con on the trail of a serial killer can't outrun this French thriller's weight of familiarity.
-
Anton Bitel, Little White Lies
Fast and furious, but also dull and derivative.
