The movie is all posture, cliche, and editing-room Spackle.
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice
Rotten
A textbook case of a movie that would have been better had it been worse.
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten
Cable fare masquerading as a theatrical feature because of its high-profile cast.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews

Suggests unintentional self-parody from the get-go.
