Pat C. gave it a5:
Unusual premise, good drama in the one-way mirror scene, but eventually the film just drags and is unenlightened and predictable.
Steve H. gave it a6:
A promising idea for a film - a crook witnesses a crime, so who will believe him? - this rather runs out of steam, so that after an hour or so I was reduced to just waiting to see how they sorted it out in the end. Clint Eastwood, as usual, manages to make even a fairly stock character interesting, but in the end I couldn't be persuaded to care.
