Reviews
The lexicon of international films wrote that the film was "a stereotypically produced crime and court film that once again comes along with the 'scandalous' treatment of 'fatal desires'". He is "transparent, clichéd and superficial".
Quote from Prisma-Online : “Madonna is once again not stingy with skin, but that does not mean that it is much more erotic here than at the tax office at 9:30 in the morning. With this, director Uli Edel proved himself to be a reliable man for flops once again after his last exit in Brooklyn . "
Cinema magazine wrote that the director did not provide "comprehensible explanations for the film plot", but only "speculative images". It also says: "Madonna's cleverly thought-out sex acrobatics are neither mysterious nor unpredictable like Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct ".
