United States | Entertainment Weekly | "A twisty, showy, atmosphere-saturated drama" | POS |
United States | Chicago Tribune | "Sacrificing content for style, Caruso gives us a lot to look at but little to ponder." | NEU |
United States | Austin Chronicle | "For all its faults, is a solid piece of dirty work" | POS |
United States | New York Post | "A truly baffling late entry in the 'Pulp Fiction' sweepstakes that ends up drowning in its own pretensions -- along with, quite possibly, what's left of Val Kilmer's movie career" | NEG |
United States | Boston Globe | "A commercial Hollywood movie without pretensions. If there's no art here, it's still a good yarn" | POS |
United States | San Francisco Chronicle | "All the movie's narrative gymnastics can't disguise the fact that it's inauthentic at its core and that its story just isn't worth telling" | NEG |
