O'Neill proves to be a squeamish screenwriter. He doesn't allow his villain to do anything truly unnerving until the story's nearly done.
Rita Kempley, Washington Post
Rotten
Constructed from so many ideas, characters and situations recycled from other movies that all the way down the river I kept thinking: Been there. Done that.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

If watched from a mildly amused, forgiving distance, the movie has its enjoyable moments -- good and campy.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post

The thriller framework is still familiar, but the results exhibit a welcome freshness.
