...it's instantly forgettable, which is an impressive feat given how endless the film feels.

Dull despite its suspense-driven story.

A sleazy crime story about transvestites in Brussels being chopped up by a madman.

What really sink the film are the script's reductive, outdated psychological implications ... and its clumsy melodramatics.
