Waller's witty, well-crafted yet unpretentious thriller--about American youths who make a movie in Moscow and get involved with the underworld--is a seductive piece of filmmaking that should keep viewers hyperventilating to the last reel.

A Sam Raimi wannabe that doesn't always strike the right balance of humor to thrills, but comes close

Gets off to a great, scary start, but then turns silly and comical, breaking the film's tone of dread.
