Reviews


50
Chicago Tribune - Michael Wilmington
So fast, sleek and riveting it almost makes you expect miracles -- which never materialize.
50
Austin Chronicle - Kimberley Jones
The action is constant, often pointless, definitely gratuitous, and breathlessly fun.
40
Slate - David Edelstein
By the third big climax the audience started to get impatient with the movie's pointless zigs and zags.
38
Philadelphia Inquirer - Carrie Rickey
It's hard to say with certainty whether it's insufficient plot or insufficient interpretation that's responsible for Travolta's waxwork performance.
25
San Francisco Chronicle - Bob Graham
This lurid thriller comes to life in fits and starts, and then sinks into the bog of its own cleverness once again.
