	Author	Review
United Kingdom	John Berra Screendaily	"Although the premise is undoubtedly far-fetched, Malaysian director Sam Quah succeeds in constructing the kind of tightly wound suspense piece for which disbelief can be suspended."	POS
United States	Richard Kuipers Variety	"Sam Quah makes a splash with a riveting mix of suspense and social commentary (...) A big part of the film’s appeal lies in the grounded humanity of the central characters"	POS
