The story is sometimes overwritten, often overwrought, includes an overheard conversation on the "Nancy Drew" level, and yet holds our attention and contains surprises right until the end.
By Roger Ebert FULL REVIEW

Stovall's film could have been a little shorter and a lot tighter.
By Ken Fox FULL REVIEW

By Frank Scheck FULL REVIEW
40
It sadly really never lives up to the potential and excellence it's really capable of.
