	Media	Author	Review
		Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Tedious (...) It a sluggishly rendered mystery that audiences will have long stopped caring about before it reaches its conclusion"
		Nikki Baughan Screendaily	"A clunky, overwrought thriller which leans heavily on cliche"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"Russell Crowe plays it subtle as ex-cop with dementia (...) His vulnerable performance is the best thing about twisty detective story. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Jesse Hassenger Paste Magazine	"It’s all bad cops and worse twists, turning the fragility of human memory into a cheap trick"
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"Crowe is better than 'Sleeping Dogs'. Most actors are (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"It's patchy, it's badly lit, it's glum, it's overloaded with suspects, and it's almost proud of its contrivances. Yet in its logy, booby-trapped way, it keeps you watching"
		Abigail Stevens Screen Rant	"Its poor writing maligns its interesting premise (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Greg Nussen Slant	"Forgettable 'Memento' clone (...) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"
		Luke Y. Thompson AV Club	"Russell Crowe forgets the plot, and so will you"
		Nick Schager The Daily Beast	"Russell Crowe continues to prove that he's better than the B-grade projects he's now offered, but his convincing performance isn't enough to elevate this surprise-free mystery"
