Despite its merits, the script fails to escape the silly season that fouls up so many thrillers, that time when the twists merely seem like the narrative equivalents of those violin shrieks on a cheesy score.
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
Rotten
It doesn't bog down in the bogs, but it's slow-moving just about everyplace else.
Peter Rainer, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
There is no psychological depth, no real motivation, no human values to weigh, just characters jerked here and there like puppets in an arbitrary plot.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
The longer you stay with it, the more routine and uninspired it seems -- not to mention cowardly.
Hal Hinson, Washington Post
