One's ultimate reaction is likely to one of indifference, bemusement or outright disdain considering the pedigree of the filmmaker helming the project: Brian De Palma.
Bruce Demara, Toronto Star
Rotten
A throwaway by a gifted filmmaker who has run out of ideas.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
Rotten
Despite De Palma's lavish proof of what he can accomplish with classical technique, the movie comes off as too much for too little, a collection of mechanisms that decorate mechanisms.
Richard Brody, New Yorker
Rotten
After the clinically dull first half, it's more desperate pantry raid than feast.
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
