- 50The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyThe A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyA courtroom thriller that becomes sillier and more generic as it zips along. It moves fast (a rare quality for a contemporary thriller), but doesn’t end up going anywhere interesting.
- 30The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisIn lieu of tension, the film is stuffed with crazed musical crescendos, amateurish structural feints and pregnant pauses that cry out for the familiar “chu-CHUNG” of a “Law & Order” scene change.
- 30Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinLos Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinContrived and predictable yet fairly tense.
- 25Slant MagazineChuck BowenSlant MagazineChuck BowenYou may feel as if you're watching two or three abbreviated episodes of Law & Order in quick succession rather than a fully realized movie.
- 0VarietyScott FoundasVarietyScott FoundasThis utterly unmemorable, uninspired and unnecessary genre exercise should fade from view so fast they might just as soon have called it “Without a Trace.”
