Critic Reviews
-
Clint Morris, Moviehole
An explosive picture! Dafoe is typically great
-
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
The overseas setting of this whodunit fails to offset what is basically a lackluster story peopled by unsavory characters.
-
Brian Mckay, eFilmCritic.com
A noteworthy detective thriller set against a Vietnam war backdrop. Dafoe and Hines investigate a slew of prostitute murders in Saigon.
-
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
The acting was flat, the story was trite, and the suspense was marginal.
