San Francisco Chronicle - Mick LaSalle

Not a heist film, a thriller, a twisted romance, a film noir or a character study, but a unique concoction that bends all these genres to its vision. Read full review

The New Yorker - David Denby

The movie turns into a serious and rather audacious study in the sexiness of a nonsexual relationship, though by the end the audience may be rooting for the two to quit risking life and limb and just go to bed together. [15 July 2002. p. 90]

Washington Post - Michael O'Sullivan

Fascinating and transgressive love story. Read full review

New York Post - Jonathan Foreman

Isn't just scary, charming and delightfully unpredictable - it's also smarter and subtler than any new movie out there. Read full review

Variety - Derek Elley

Engaging chemistry between leads Emmanuelle Devos and Vincent Cassel. Read full review

Charlotte Observer - Lawrence Toppman

The two leads don't have sexual chemistry together, but that's part of the point. Read full review

Christian Science Monitor - David Sterritt

The first half is a well-acted psychological drama, but the second half is standard thriller fare with more action than insight. Read full review
