Media Author Review
United States
Chicago Tribune
"A tightly assembled didactic thriller."
United States
Variety
"A moderately compelling thriller about the potential perils of nuclear energy, whose major fault is an overweening sense of its own self-importance."
United Kingdom
Time Out
"All a bit too earnest, despite the seriousness of the subject (...) but it's tightly scripted and directed, and genuinely tense in places."
United States
Chicago Sun-Times
"A terrific thriller that incidentally raises the most unsettling questions"
