Fleder can only fling the camera about and indulge in some familiar screen sadism ... as he tries to squeeze a few thrills from material as desiccated as his leading man.
Manohla Dargis, L.A. Weekly

In the place of consistent psychological tension, we are saddled with shoot-outs, chases, and fight scenes.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Fresh
As an odyssey of paternal qualm, Fleder's forgettable thriller has a convincing edge, and Douglas remains unchallenged as Hollywood's most tremulous and disquieting dad-under-pressure.
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice
Fresh
A well-crafted thriller that breaks no new ground but is an exciting diversion with plausible twists of logic and an exciting climax.
Paul Clinton (CNN.com), CNN.com

A big, noisy mess, with a howler at its center.
