	Author	Review
United States	Joe Leydon Variety	"A flagrantly derivative but modestly diverting drama"	NEU
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"This clumsy, poorly written action thriller is such a complete catastrophe that you wonder how actors with the stature of Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Pacino were bamboozled into appearing in it"	NEG
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Viewers shouldn't be too hard on themselves for failing to navigate the plot's ridiculous twists and turns. But they should be hard on the film for its lurid, over-the-top style"	NEG
United States	Robert Abele Los Angeles Times	"The movie is director Shintaro Shimosawa's blatant attempt to cross breed '70s paranoia creepers and '90s erotic noir"	NEG
United States	Lou Lumenick New York Post	"Some handsome location shooting in New Orleans doesn’t make up for the Oscar winners’ relentless hamming and a plot that twists way beyond credibility (...) Rating: ★ (out of four)"	NEG
