Reviews
|
Variety -
Delivers fairly tense and engrossing drama before succumbing to thriller convention.
|
|
The New Yorker -
It's a shame, then, that the later stages of Lakeview Terrace should overheat and spill into silliness. The plot is compromised, not resolved, by the pulling of a gun.
|
|
Village Voice -
Like a lot of better genre fare, Lakeview Terrace uses its predictable premise to mount a stealth attack on the audience's sensibilities.
|
|
ReelViews -
In pandering to Hollywood standards about how stories like this should unfold, LaBute has lost his edge.
|
|
Chicago Tribune -
One wishes LaBute, a bleak satirist and, at his best, a crudely compelling dramatist, had taken the script and made it his own sort of twisted comedy instead of a routine thriller
