Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan
A tribute to old-fashioned craftsmanship and skill both on and off the screen, it's as crisp and efficient as its law enforcement protagonists, able to make the best of its traditional genre elements.
60
Film.com - Ernest Hardy
Although the film disappoints in the final stretch (both the villain and his motive turn out to be very lame), it confidently thrills for most of its nearly two-hour length.
58
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - William Arnold
Quickly assumes the characteristics of a bad slasher movie.
50
Chicago Reader - Lisa Alspector
This mild thriller's consistently dark atmosphere makes the scene-of-the-crime tableaux...transcend exploitation and even suggest a kind of feminist odyssey.
50
San Francisco Examiner - Wesley Morris
This is neither a psychological thriller nor an erotic one, so any interest in the story is purely the work of its stars.
