Rotten
Messy and confused, the film is a mishmash of tropes from Shakespeare, heist movies, family melodrama, and romance novels hastily thrown together.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
None of it is convincing in the least, although the actors do as much as they can. "Phantom Halo" ends up feeling like a mash-up of two many other mediocre films.
Tom Long, Detroit News
Fresh
A dark, satisfying work that can be forgiven for the moments it succumbs to Hollywood convention.
Helen T. Verongos, New York Times
Rotten
This film keeps reaching for cleverness but comes up with a fistful of cliches.
Michael Rechtshaffen, Los Angeles Times
