Critics' reviews

"David Duchovny is absolutely charming in a movie that combines medicine and crime and ultimately wears out its welcome by being too cute and repetitive with its throwaway humor"

Gene Siskel: Chicago Tribune
"A medical-underworld thriller that teaches the star of TV's The X-Files something about Z-grade theatrical pics."

Mike Clark: USA Today
"Movies like this are so plentiful and derivative and life-negating that any thinking filmgoer is doomed to feel soiled after witnessing a string of them."

Edward Guthmann: SFGATE
