United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Elba (...) gives the film more dignity than it deserves, and Henson delivers a performance of complex emotional shadings. But their fine work is utterly wasted in this B-movie exploitation thriller"	NEG
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"Despite competent performances and packaging, dialogue and situations in Aimee Lagos' script are too routine to create much excitement"	NEG
United States	Rafer Guzmán Newsday	"Idris Elba's talents wasted in plodding thriller (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
