A monochromatic melodrama.

Mary Brennan, Seattle Times
Rotten

As a film it plays like a heavy-handed morality tale one might come across on a middling cable network.

John McMurtrie, San Francisco Chronicle

There is little to like about many of the hard characters we meet. Yet the film has a core generosity.

Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post

It is more a public service announcement than a movie, but it has to be more useful to its audience than a summer blockbuster offering Halle Berry's tips on how to use a bullwhip.

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe

Woman boasts an unexpected edginess, as well as a terrific performance from Kimberly Elise.

Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News
