Critic Reviews

Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
Chapman coaxes good performances from his cast, especially Wilson, who makes Joe's immense conflicts a matter of empathy as much as abhorrence. But Chapman doesn't have the filmmaking skills to conceal the talky, formulaic narrative.
-
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
Gavin recalls his experiences while standing atop a building ready to jump; we're meant to be on edge ourselves, but the only real mystery is why Tyler took such an unrewarding role in the first place.
-
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
A film that's ultimately sabotaged by its own heavy-handed screenplay.
-
Kyle Smith, New York Post
Unlike its talky hero, the credibility of this preposterous drama immediately plunges into the abyss.
-
Stephen Holden, New York Times
What undoes it is its mechanical structure: a stale dramatic formula of the sort taught in elementary playwriting classes.
