Reviews & comments

Variety
pressThe film's initial formulaic competence gives way to outright preposterousness rather quickly, hinging on idiot-plot character motivations.

Time Out
pressJennifer Lopez has serious beefcake issues in this lazy, low-budget, not-as-much-fun-as-it-should-be potboiler.

The New York Times
pressMr. Cohen, no stranger to delivering pulp product, employs visual clichés as if they were flash cards; no exposed thigh or made-you-jump reveal goes unexploited.

Hollywood Reporter
pressAs torrid affairs-gone-wrong go, this one's not juicy enough and way too predictable.
