Chuck Wilson
This is a dream cast who practically sing screenwriter Keith Reddin's funny, literate dialogue.

Infuriating grab-bag of a movie.

Chicago Tribune
The trajectory of the film -- despite its excellent cast and intelligent mounting -- is too preordained.

Its ideas are worth pondering, but as a movie it's less memorable than its interesting cast suggests.

The New York Times
Like a ham-fisted high-concept public service announcement, directed with stagy deliberateness and written with tin-eared vernacular speechiness.

Chicago Reader
Two generic ideas amount to nothing in this theatrical dark comedy about violence and information overload.

Misfires badly as both an entertainment and a message movie.

Reddin's script lacks the sophistication that might make the film's message about guns more than a 90-minute public service announcement with a good cast.
