Top critics, in their words
Rotten
This blatant button-pusher plays upon our most primal emotions as well as the increasing disdain for the criminal justice system.
Rita Kempley, Washington Post
Rotten
A B movie that somehow won the lottery and got an A-movie cast and director.
Joe Leydon, Variety
Rotten
Never in his varied career has Mr. Schlesinger made a film as mean-spirited and empty as this.
Janet Maslin, New York Times
Rotten
Dumb dips from oppressive to offensive in this Sally Field suspense drama, which actually comes out for vigilantism.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
