Critics' reviews

"The sort of old-fashioned, B-movie thriller best seen at a drive-in on a rainy night (...) Far stronger on atmosphere than actual suspense"

Frank Scheck: The Hollywood Reporter
"It’s long been clear that Cage has opted for quantity in his movie roles, but maybe a little quality control wouldn’t hurt (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"

Sara Stewart: New York Post
"[It] has plenty of potential guilty-pleasure signifiers (...) but the overripe (if underdeveloped) payoff arrives only after a full hour of patience-testing buildup."

Dennis Harvey: Variety
"Not bad enough to be fun, nor good enough to be Southern Gothic, this flat film is just painfully mediocre."

Gary M. Kramer: Salon
"Kelsey Grammer is even more ridiculous than Nicolas Cage (...) This could’ve been a respectable retro crime picture. Apparently, nobody told the cast."

Noel Murray: Los Angeles Times
