Los Angeles Times

A clever and adroit B picture with A virtues, starting with its ensemble cast.

By Kevin Thomas FULL REVIEW

The Hollywood Reporter

A dramatic thriller with a large cast playing the hell out of some very juicy roles. Nieman's script shuffles nimbly among an array of colorful characters and offers unexpected twists that keep you off-balance.

By Kirk Honeycutt FULL REVIEW

Variety

In the end, under-realized direction and characters deliver less than a full deck.

By Robert Koehler FULL REVIEW

L.A. Weekly

The flashes of warm, human talent that pulse periodically from the ensemble -- Byrne and Foxx, particularly -- only make their presence in this terrifically bad movie all the more baffling.

By Hazel-Dawn Dumpert FULL REVIEW

Miami Herald

A failure on every conceivable level -- from its trite, pedestrian dialogue to its static, torturous pacing.
