"The Maid's Room" has much to recommend, including the versatile Mr. Camp in a Machiavellian role. But it doesn't marshal its twists toward a convincing or satisfying conclusion.

Top critics, in their words
Fresh
[A] sly, satisfying thriller about class, status and violence.
Inkoo Kang, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
"The Maid's Room" doesn't quite work, intriguing premise and all, and that the fault lies with Walker's labored script and wooden characterization.
Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com
Rotten
After a seductively moody intro, Michael Walker's domestic thriller devolves into a cartoonish attack on the filthy rich.
Ronnie Scheib, Variety
Rotten
It's admirable that writer/director Michael Walker wanted to make a socially conscious thriller. But surely he didn't have to replace all the thrills with broadly moralizing messages.
