The movie shows that the only thing worse than a generically screwy thriller is one with a selective narrator -- and one that doesn't give viewers a fair chance to play along.
Ben Kenigsberg, Time Out
Rotten
A rarely suspenseful thriller with a twist ending of the worst kind: It takes too much explanation.
Carla Meyer, Dallas Morning News
Rotten
The movie would perhaps like to say something serious about the ease with which modern communications allows us to be multiple personalities, but that effort is lost in ineptitude.
Richard Schickel, TIME Magazine
Rotten
Some films are marred by absurd endings; this dire journo-thriller is like one big mar.
Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York
