Film.com Peter Brunette
A rich and challenging variation on the serial-killer genre.
Read Full Review >Time Richard Corliss
From its first shot, of a mangled car high up in the branches of a tree, this cool, handsome thriller proceeds with an elliptical elegance.
Read Full Review >Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt
The picture is a little too pretentious to achieve its artistic and emotional goals, but its ambition and imagination are impressive at times.
Read Full Review >The New York Times A.O. Scott
Mr. Law doesn't disgrace himself here, though he doesn't have much to do, and the director, Po Chih Leong, is deft at creating atmosphere, but it's an atmosphere we've all seen before.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
Nearly strangles in its own stylishness but benefits from smoldering performances.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
With all the brooding, stylized closeups of blood, crosses and cigarettes, the overall effect is fashion-mag chic -- not, as intended, intellectual thriller.
Read Full Review >Variety Derek Elley
Starts intriguingly but ends up thrashing around as a toothless wonder.

Mira gave it an8:
Overall very good, with stunning preformances from the leads, and begins like an unique, smart thriller, but ends like your average slasher flick.
