Summary An intense, psychological thriller, with veteran Police Captain Victor Benezet (Freeman) squaring off against prominent tax attorney Henry Hearst (Hackman) -- two life-hardened and well-matched opponents motivated by reasons more complex and personal than the pursuit of duty or the defense of reputation.

A decent, smart, well-acted film.

By Henry Cabot Beck FULL REVIEW

Los Angeles Times

Offers the pleasures of a chamber drama's bravura performances from a pair of supremely accomplished pros.

By Kevin Thomas FULL REVIEW

Dallas Observer

Ninety percent of this thriller is absolutely terrific; but the 10 percent that fails is so troubling that it threatens to undermine all that is wonderful in the rest.

By Andy Klein FULL REVIEW

Christian Science Monitor

Good acting and an effectively claustrophobic mood compensate for a story that doesn't add up to much in the long run.

By David Sterritt FULL REVIEW

TV Guide Magazine

Not even the high-caliber talents of Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman can save this stagy, ridiculously over-baked psychological thriller.

By Ken Fox FULL REVIEW

The New York Times

Appears to be a somewhat sinister episode of "Nightline."

By A.O. Scott FULL REVIEW

L.A. Weekly

Overproduced, psychologically muddled, and burdened with an enchantingly overheated screenplay.
