Efficient enough as a thriller, but what makes this mandatory viewing is the return of Pacino.

A lugubrious imitation of a second-rate television movie, over-produced and over-cast.
Vincent Canby, New York Times

What impressed me most in the film was the personal chemistry between Pacino and Barkin. There can be little doubt, at this point, that Barkin is one of the most intense and passionately convincing actresses now at work in American movies.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh
A bluesy thriller with a clever though not overly complicated premise.
Hal Hinson, Washington Post

Price and director Harold Becker build in enough jumps and scares and good red herrings to be satisfying ...
