If there's anything about the movie that really rises above the mediocre, it's Gleeson's fantastic performance.

An almost madcap comic pace battles with thundercloud-building drama . . . The social commentary can be earnest and bald, with the mythic overtones seemingly contrived to tumble O'Leary into the class gap on his arse.

John Boorman's tale of doppelgängers in Dublin would like very much to spook us, but keeps tripping over its loose script and bizarre plot lines.

Not quite a car crash of a movie, Boorman's uneven black comedy is more like a fender-bender. It falls into the twilight zone between so bad it's good and so bad it's bad.

You get two Brendan Gleesons for the price of one in John Boorman’s Dublin-set comedy, though neither is shown to his advantage in this uncomfortable mix of social satire and over-ripe melodrama.

Despite Boorman's subtle, suggestive direction and a nice central performance from Gleeson, this low-key thriller never quite works.

Any potential in Boorman’s sinister parable is frittered away with awkward dialogue, shallow characters and failed attempts at comedy. A curiosity at best.

John Boorman's self-indulgent "moral fable" has promise ..., but like the dueling entrepreneurs who populate one strand of the narrative, delivers more sizzle than steak.
