An interesting response to the demands of low-budget genre filmmaking.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Fresh
Aware of the virtue of implied violence, Bogdanovich conveys moments of shock, terror, suspense and fear.
Variety Staff, Variety
Fresh
A fascinatingly complex commentary on American mythology, exploring the relationship between the inner world of the imagination and the outer world of violence and paranoia, both of which were relevant to contemporary American traumas.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out

Targets scores an unnerving bullseye.
Howard Thompson, New York Times
