The questions the film raises are more interesting than the film itself.
Erik Lundegaard, Seattle Times

A gravely realized and often chilling look at what might happen to ordinary people if all their support systems suddenly collapsed.
Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News

Desson Thomson, Washington Post

More than watchable, if less than compelling.
