  1. 80
    An intriguing, visually startling murder mystery that showcases the virtuosity of Samuel L. Jackson.
  2. Deserves an A for ambition, but the final product is a pastiche of too many predecessors.
  3. 60
    Overall it's a frustratingly uneven movie, delicate at one moment and bluntly obvious the next.
  4. Calling a cave of rocks home while spouting invective worthy of the Juilliard attendee he once was, homeless-by-choice Samuel L. Jackson worms his way into one of the least compelling mysteries in years.
