Critic Reviews

  • Michael Dequina, TheMovieReport.com

    Never quite develops three-way erotic charge it should have.

  • Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid

    Has rough spots but rings emotionally true and paints a vivid picture of New York City's underbelly.

  • David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews

    ...despite their best efforts, none of [the actors] are able to create characters worth caring about.

  • Mike McGranaghan, Aisle Seat

    Pretentious garbage

  • Jeffrey Westhoff, Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)

    Everything pales next to the spectacle of Hayek barnstorming through this story as if it were her Mildred Pierce.She emotes the way Vesuvius erupts.
