- Critics' reviews
-
-
"A tightly assembled didactic thriller."
Dave Kehr: Chicago Tribune
-
"A moderately compelling thriller about the potential perils of nuclear energy, whose major fault is an overweening sense of its own self-importance."
Variety Staff: Variety
-
-
"All a bit too earnest, despite the seriousness of the subject (...) but it's tightly scripted and directed, and genuinely tense in places."
Geoff Andrew: Time Out
