It (almost literally) runs off the rails with a series of twists that ultimately invite more laughs than tension.

Mr. Nooshin stirs a mystery that's light on special effects and bravely uncomplicated.
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times

Although the film, Nooshin's first feature, takes a while to become fully propulsive, it eventually puts forth an effective series of red herrings, close calls and clock-ticking action scenes.
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

Omid Nooshin's sturdy runaway-train thriller chugs up a decent amount of suspense.
