	Author	Review
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"Mr. Heard is in trouble here, displaying none of the charm, devilishness or even energy to account for Jack's elaborate scheming. Ms. Hawn is better"	NEU
United States	Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"The twists and turns of this plot alternate between being contrived and being too obvious, not the best of combinations"	NEG
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"[It] opens with an ancient thriller formula, elevates itself to passages of genuine suspense, and then ends with a climax so absurd that it takes a real effort of memory to recall that parts of the movie were really pretty good (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Colette Maude Time Out	"Poor Goldie is left stomping around (...) Too bad, because slick direction and rich textures created by long-time Eastwood cinematographer Jack Green prove enticing"	NEU
United States	TV Guide	"A dull, muddled attempt at a sleek, Hitchcockian psychological thriller (...) [It] could have used a lot less psychology and a lot more thrills"	NEG
