Critic Reviews

  • Michael Ordoņa, Los Angeles Times

    Aspiring for psychological drama rather than action movie, the film takes itself far too seriously.

  • Norm Schrager, Filmcritic.com

    As a showpiece for Elba, the movie functions well, and will probably be regarded mainly for being just that.

  • Amber Wilkinson, Eye for Film

    Featuring plenty of visceral thrills and presented with more intelligence than many of the thrillers which spring from Hollywood strafing cliche bullets to little effect, it suggests everyone concerned is destined for bigger, better things in the future.
