  1. There's something heartening about a film that aspires to do nothing but entertain -- and does.

    Jones' pursuit of Judd follows the tried-but-true plotline of winding cat-and-mouse chases that lead to big climaxes.
  3. 50
    Bad in a good way if you appreciate this sort of silly thriller.
  4. 38
    So nonsensical you don't understand why anyone would actually make it.

  1. The movie is a good and compelling story, with strong acting. It not will change your life but it's a very pleasant entertainment. I guess that the critics are in other planet when they criticize the movie. Many times, in Metacritic, when critics hate a movie and the public likes it, it attracts me.
    The movie title is concerning a real question in USA. You cannot be blamed twice by the same crime.

  2. Entertaining and good overall. The problem is that it has many errors.
