Neeson, in particular, has to rumble through the movie behaving in a way consistent with the ending and comes off as far over the top in the process.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

The result is B-grade cheese. The only genuine mystery, for me, is why such a fine cast signed on for such a witless movie.

Everyone seems as if they're going through the motions.

Before long, the characters, which director Richard Eyre adapted from a Bernhard Schlink short story, cease to be people and start to become devices.

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger

Despite the gimlet eye of Richard Eyre, former director of England's Royal National Theatre, and the top-echelon talents of an impressive cast, a dreary, disabled disaster called The Other Man drops dead at the starting gate.

Rex Reed, New York Observer
