Critic Reviews

  • Dan Lybarger, Nitrate Online

    It takes an exceptionally talentless screenwriter-director to make such a foul, boring, worthless descreation of DeFoe's witty, insightful and entertaining novel, and Densham is that incompetent.

  • David N. Butterworth, rec.arts.movies.reviews

    More bore-dy than bawdy.
