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