Critic Reviews

  • Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

    Murky and dull.

  • John Anderson, Newsday

    A decent enough thriller.

  • Jonathan Foreman, New York Post

  • Michael Atkinson, Mr. Showbiz

    A Frankenstein monster, with more obvious story patches, post-dubbed exposition, and missing money shots than most straight-to-video fare.

  • Stephen Hunter, Washington Post

    Goes nowhere and when it gets there, it's not anywhere.

    This film is an interesting one despite the critics' opinions. Interesting scene: Robin Tunney's and Lou Diamond Phillips' character are filling out an application for "reproduction." Very interesting! Who thought of that masterpiece!? Ingenious… More
