Reviews


70
Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas
A clever and adroit B picture with A virtues, starting with its ensemble cast.
60
The Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt
A dramatic thriller with a large cast playing the hell out of some very juicy roles. Nieman's script shuffles nimbly among an array of colorful characters and offers unexpected twists that keep you off-balance.
50
Variety - Robert Koehler
In the end, under-realized direction and characters deliver less than a full deck.
40
L.A. Weekly - Hazel-Dawn Dumpert
The flashes of warm, human talent that pulse periodically from the ensemble -- Byrne and Foxx, particularly -- only make their presence in this terrifically bad movie all the more baffling.
25
Miami Herald - Rene Rodriguez
A failure on every conceivable level -- from its trite, pedestrian dialogue to its static, torturous pacing.
