Reviews
Roger Ebert wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times on September 27, 1991 that the beginning of the film followed the traditional formula of thriller. The film then develops " real tension " and ends so absurdly that it takes a great effort of memory to remember those parts of the film that are really good. You have to laugh when you see the end. The general direction of the action is predictable.
The magazine TV Spielfilm wrote that Goldie Hawn's " skillful game " made " overlook some of the inconsistencies of the thriller ".
background
