PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"This cloddishly contrived suspenser is too busy to bore, but too farfetched to thrill" (Justin Chang: Variety)

----------------------------------------
"Rarely has a film exhibited a bigger disconnect between urban realism and utter ludicrousness" (Stephen Holden: The New York Times)

----------------------------------------
"Sam Worthington does a frighteningly good job (...) Leth does well in taking us to dizzying heights. If only he had found a way to ground that thrill in some real pathos as well" (Betsy Sharkey: Los Angeles Times)

----------------------------------------
"A movie that employs all the mechanics of a standard Hollywood thriller, while taking sidelong glances at the same voyeurism that fuels both the film and cinema itself" (John Anderson: The Wall Street Journal)

----------------------------------------
"Leth gets right to the business at hand where the set-up is concerned, but it's in the execution that this would-be thriller falls flat" (Michael Rechtshaffen: The Hollywood Reporter)
