United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"An exasperatingly boring film"	NEG
United States	Lisa Nesselson Variety	"Pic’s always assured, baroquely funny tone is set in opening sequence (...) Depp is a good choice"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Opens with a spectacularly good title sequence and goes downhill from there (...) Depp and Polanski bring a film noir feel to the film (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Kim Newman Empire	"A strong first act and an appealing Depp performance mask a myriad of flaws (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
