    A decent, smart, well-acted film.

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

    An engrossing, gem-hard little popcorn-cruncher.

    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.

    For many, the enticement of seeing two old pros smartly step through their pressurized pas de deux might be reason enough to buy a ticket.

    Pits the two actors against each other in a ''long night of the soul'' talkathon that director Stephen Hopkins' jerky editing techniques can't quite spark into sustained life.

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

    There is undeniable pleasure in watching these pros at work, but the murky depths of the soul can make for a dreary two hours.

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

    A profound disappointment, given its cast and source material.

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

    Overproduced, psychologically muddled, and burdened with an enchantingly overheated screenplay.
  14. Village Voice
    Reviewed by: Dennis Lim

    Strangely, there's no thrust and parry to this potentially heavyweight mind game. The effect is more like a tennis match in which every feebly contested point ends with an unforced error.

    This movie is a work of genius!This is a movie that leaves a lasting impression that lasts beyond what you think and quite a movie that will go over many people's,including reviewers, heads.You really have to see the movie twice or more to really appreciate the quality of what this movie is trying to accomplish,and does.There is no movie like this that was ever made,not saying that this is the best movie made,it's not by a long shot but what this movie does it does with flying aces making it a perfect ten by all measures.I might be reviewing this at a much later date(1-6-12) and it was made on 9-22-00 but I just had to review this movie because movies I consider tens need to be reviewed and the word has to be said.Watch the flawless acting,story and this will be in the back of your head throughout all your future movie watching.Like I said,a work of genius,brilliance,intelligence,pure bliss!10… Full Review »
