Reviews


63
TV Guide Magazine - Maitland McDonagh
Danish writer-director Ole Bornedal delivers up a stylish thriller whose murky, shot-through-pond-scum cinematography is its most distinctive feature.
50
Austin Chronicle - Marc Savlov
It's gritty, nasty, predictably meat-and-potatoes suspense, but genuinely gonzo fun nonetheless.
50
Chicago Reader - Lisa Alspector
The filmmakers show habitual thriller viewers some respect by condensing the background story into iconic sound and image bites during the opening-credits sequence, suggesting they know we get the drill; this and the other stylish elements make it all the more disappointing that the movie's mediocre.
50
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
It's a visually effective and often scary film to watch, but the story is so leaky that we finally just give up.
50
Film Threat - Ron Wells
It comes off as an amalgam of everything that was cool in 1996, when we first saw the trailer.
