Critic Reviews
-
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Simpson has created an intelligent, well-acted, twisty, spellbinding, dark and moody film that questions if what you are seeing is believable.
-
MaryAnn Johanson, Flick Filosopher
Like a bemused John Cusack stumbled into a very loud Steven Seagal shoot-'em-up.
-
Ian Waldron-Mantgani, UK Critic
I thought the movie was going to follow through, but it settles into a conventional man-on-the-run formula.
