Reviews

Film Threat - Lorry Kikta
The film is fast and tight and hits all the beats perfectly.
63
RogerEbert.com - Brian Tallerico
Some of the choices strain credulity and the biggest name in the piece, Josh Hutcherson, feels miscast, but this is a film that kept me uncertain of what would happen next and affirms Gan as an interesting young filmmaker to watch.
50
Variety - Dennis Harvey
The problem is that writer-director Mike Gan’s first feature, though competently handled in most departments, doesn’t commit enough to any approach to fulfill its potential.

The Hollywood Reporter - John DeFore
Neither Gan's screenplay nor his direction of the cast quite sells this scenario, but once he introduces some accidental violence, the picture can ride the familiar logic of crime-gone-wrong storytelling.
