Critic Reviews

  • The most preposterous movie in theaters isn't the Ace Ventura sequel (or even Money Train) but this wanna-be nail-biter. More...
  • O artifício narrativo do "tempo real", usado com bem mais eficácia em Matar ou Morrer e Festim Diabólico, acaba se revelando insuficiente para gerar a tensão desejada, que, como se não bastasse, é destruída de vez no terrível ato final do filme. More...
  • An exciting albeit illogical tale of mystery and suspense... More...
  • A fast and furious 90 minutes that doesn't waste a second. More...
  • A slick, highly imaginative thriller More...
  • Depp... is very visibly bored with this blatant bid for mainstream action stardom. More...
  • What is Depp doing in this tepid thriller? More...
  • Depp and Walken. What else matters? More...
  • Doesn't work as well as it think it does, but remains compelling, throughout. More...
  • Tight, suspenseful thriller. More...
