Reviews

Peter Debruge wrote in Variety magazine on March 26, 2007, that it would be "mean" and "wrong" ( "cruel and inaccurate" ) to claim that one can forget the thriller. He combines elements of the B-films with the theme of obsession from "extreme Asian cinema" . The end seems "exaggerated" and could come from a film by Brian De Palma . The film would be missing big stars, which would reduce its chances with audiences in the United States.

The magazine TV Spielfilm 4/2008 wrote that the film did not stay in the memory. It was "produced cheaply" , Dennis Hopper, who played along, seemed "underchallenged" .

backgrounds

The film was shot in Dallas , Vancouver and Rio de Janeiro . Its production amounted to an estimated 3.5 million US dollars .
