Rotten
This thriller by Jon Avnet is mostly by the numbers, and its surprise ending, though effective, feels somewhat forced.

Nearly everything about this film is a cliche.

Rotten
Say it ain't so, Bobby and Al.
Jason Matloff, Boston Globe
Rotten
The movie, which has more than 10 credited producers, feels like one of those slick, for-the-money projects Hollywood studios cook up via graph charts and marketing surveys.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
Rotten
There's nothing righteous to be found here.
