Variety"Quite effective in its basic set pieces, even if the overall thrust seems a trifle ponderous."

Time Out
Time Out"There are all sorts of unanswered questions when the film's over, but I'm not inclined to hold that against it. I enjoy thrillers for the people and predicaments in them, not for their clockwork plots."
