Clever and unsettling.
Andrea Gronvall, Chicago Reader
Rotten
Niccol's major problem is timing: action sequences and dialogue scenes lie flat on the screen, while his tendency to play around with pacing means that any tension quickly dissipates. Life's too short.
Tom Huddleston, Time Out
Rotten
The film is beautifully shot in chilly blues and grays by cinematographer Roger Deakins, and Los Angeles locales are well chosen for futuristic effect. Most of the time, however, I found myself glancing at the clock on my own wrist.
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

Niccol's zippy direction, joined to a sleek, rich production design, keeps the movie spinning like a shiny toy.
