This umpteenth variation on Schnitzler's classic play La Ronde fails to arouse.

Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter

In "30 Beats," the conversational foreplay is hopelessly flaccid.

Sara Stewart, New York Post

Despite the presence of such actors as Lee Pace, Jennifer Tilly, Justin Kirk, Thomas Sadoski and Paz de la Huerta, there is no character insight allowed by the bumper-car storytelling.

Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
Rotten

That's all that happens: drift from one unrealized, uninteresting character to another.

Amy Biancolli, San Francisco Chronicle

"30 Beats" goes on to a meandering orgasm of multiple, less-than-dangerous liaisons meant to titillate, fascinate and illuminate. But once the sweat dries, it irritates.

Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
