Anyone who thinks that Josh Hartnett isn't a true movie star should see his riveting, high-wire performance in August, a shrewdly dramatized look back at the bursting of the dot-com bubble.
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

Smartly scripted, convincingly atmospheric morality fable in which Hartnett, usually insubstantial as a good guy, plays a convincingly flawed character galloping toward the precipice.
John Anderson, Newsday
Rotten
Only an amusing cameo by David Bowie enlivens things, but he's onscreen for just about two minutes at the end.
Kyle Smith, New York Post

There's not much to it, but Austin Chick's hyper-focused indie does serve as a nicely assured showcase for lead Josh Hartnett.
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
Rotten
Has a dark desperation thata(TM)s morbidly compelling. But the moviea(TM)s amoral momentum is fatally slowed by an acronym-heavy script and flimsy characterizations that offer fine actors...little to play.
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
