When Hayek and Leto are onscreen, you do not look away.

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Rotten

There is some strong work here, but too many misfires.

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

The story of Fernandez and Beck may be grotesque comedy, but Todd Robinson tells it straight, without flinching from its piteousness, horror, or banality.

David Denby, New Yorker

Where's James Ellroy when you need him?

David Fear, Time Out New York

It's with the focus on the police, though, that the script fails to truly connect.

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
