Leaves much to be desired.

Wally Hammond, Time Out
Rotten

Grindingly predictable and mechanically played.

Janet Maslin, New York Times
Rotten

There's something scuzzy about the whole exercise.

Hal Hinson, Washington Post
Rotten

The story not only relies on the complete and unalterable stupidity of every character in the movie, but on the gullibility of those who watch it.

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
