Critic Reviews
-
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Strains to wring tension from a tired premise and an airless script.
-
Tom Long, Detroit News
There's little fun involved, for either the audience or the diner patrons.
-
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
What dribbles out is a series of repetitive, dull, clichéd showdowns until most of the cast is gruesomely dispatched and the twist-that-isn't-a-twist is revealed.
-
Andrew Barker, Variety
A spectacularly boring chamber thriller.
-
Aaron Hillis, Time Out New York
Mark Young's bargain-basement thriller is as witless as the captor's motive; to paraphrase another well-dressed Madsen psycho, this little doggie barks, but it has no bite.
