A good rule to follow for wannabe gritty thrillers: Lead actors shouldn't remind you of late-night informercial pitchmen.

There's little in this pointless rehash to distract audiences from the pleasure of watching Tamblyn, a fine young actress whose direct, grownup stare belies her baby features.

What you won't be able to figure out is why this laughable yarn didn't go straight to DVD.
Kyle Smith, New York Post

The leads can't lend either spunk or gravitas to what was already a preposterous yarn 50 years ago.
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
There are plenty of reasonable doubts about his mediocre legal thriller remake.
