Although the subject matter is inherently disturbing, it’s hard to imagine any audience remaining unmoved by this mournful tale.- Posted Apr 4, 2013

All of the key creative personnel contribute to the movie's nail-biting tension and unexpectedly moving finale. Jon Harris's editing is matchless, and Rahman's score effectively heightens the emotion. Ultimately, however, it is the talents of Boyle and Franco that sock this movie home.- Posted Oct 27, 2010

Although the film runs more than two hours, the story is so compelling and the production so beautifully controlled that we are gripped by the characters' quest right up to the shocking end of the story.- Posted Apr 19, 2011
