	Author	Review
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"There are glimpses here and there of the film Exposed might have been (...) But anyone looking for a good Reeves thriller would be well advised to wait until John Wick 2"	NEG
United States	Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times	"An awfully silly — and just plain awful — bilingual supernatural crime thriller"	NEG
United Kingdom	Tom Huddleston Time Out	"'Exposed' has a grimy, off-kilter charm not seen since the heyday of ’70s exploitation (...) ends on a note so flat and predictable that it undermines all that went before. But there are strange and memorable moments here. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"In certain mutilated pictures, you can detect the lineaments of greatness: Consider Orson Welles’s 'The Magnificent Ambersons'. Here, that’s not the case."	NEG
United States	Ignatiy Vishnevetsky AV Club	"'Exposed' suggests an especially dour, arty episode of 'Law & Order: SVU', minus any reasons to keep watching."	NEG
Spain	FilmAffinity	Name director Declan Dale is a pseudonym used much in the way that the name Alan Smithee was used for films that a director has disowned. Dale's only film is this thriller that was significantly edited by Lionsgate Premiere without the original director's permission. The movie, originally titled 'Daughter of God', was a surreal bi-lingual drama, reminiscent of Pan's Labyrinth and Irreversible, that focused on child abuse, violence towards women, mass incarceration, and police violence committed under the color of authority. However, the executives at Lionsgate thought they had been sold a Keanu Reeves cop-thriller. To increase the film's potential box office, during the editing process Lionsgate changed the story's focus to center on Reeves' character, and changed the movie into a generic crime-thriller. The director disowned the film, using the pseudonym of Declan Dale.	DIS
