Packs enough pace, suspense and quality thesping to overcome some minor plot wobbles. Read full review

Dec 1, 2013

A confident and exciting genre film, and that's certainly not nothing, but it has a slight impersonality that marks it as either a calling card or a work for hire. Read full review

The film strains credulity as it hurtles toward its conclusion. Read full review

Sheri Linden

As it zigs and zags, its plot unravels rather than tightens, and its curveball of an ending is bound to leave audiences feeling as double-crossed as some of the characters. Read full review

Dec 5, 2013

Despite the revved-up start and a suitably dusty setting, the movie stalls almost immediately. The story is uninspired, Lyons looks lost, and Booth makes for a bland femme fatale. Clarke tries to inject some energy into the action, but even he seems to realize this ride’s going nowhere. Read full review
