Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words

The film is a hot-wired crime thriller that captures [Jim] Thompson's flair for hard action, malicious wit and fevered eroticism.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Fresh
Foley has brought the novel subtly up to date, and does a good job of maintaining Thompson's artful ambiguity.
Joe Brown, Washington Post
Fresh
If anything, though, Foley makes Thompson's killing universe too inviting, too sunny and comfortable. He's missed the essence of Thompson, but all in all, there are worse ways of failing.
Hal Hinson, Washington Post
