Critic Reviews

60 Los Angeles Times
Unafraid of improbability and coincidence, writers Ned Kerwin & Scott Duncan pile on nonstop action that keeps up a furious pace without giving the viewer time to ponder its credibility.
40 New Times (L.A.)
The budget is low and the acting grade C at best, but director Lorena David stages one or two genuinely impressive stunts, and the script, by newbies Scott Duncan and Ned Kerwin, manages to skillfully maintain the plot's central mystery all the way to the end.
40 TV Guide
Routine thriller.
10 LA Weekly
All the while, director Lorena David labors to keep implausibility and bad acting from sinking a ship that never should have left port.
0 Variety
So absurdly contrived that it begs to be taken as comedy.
