Reviews

Petroni, in any case, is a skilled storyteller with a strong visual sense.
70
The film is part psychological thriller, part horror movie, and the horror elements deliver some solid frights. Mr. Brody isn’t asked to stretch much, but he does his usual thing adroitly.
63
Neill is quietly compelling, as always. Brody underplays Pete, emphasizing his suffering, his victimhood, his guilt. It’s a performance mostly of reactions, and the aforementioned wayward accent.
60
It’s a bit derivative, with borrowings from a handful of other films, but there are some nasty moments.
50
While everyone involved with Backtrack is a polished pro, the movie's tastefulness gets in the way of the suspense.
