Reviews
Ray Bennett criticized the style in The Hollywood Reporter magazine on Aug. 15, 2005, writing that it was difficult to imagine an audience that would stay in their seats until the end. The film is a " terrible failure " and it " attacks the eyes ".
Derek Elley praised the " chic " cast of Rupert Graves, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Malcolm McDowell and the plot in Variety magazine on August 22, 2005 . The camera work and the editing would " torpedo " the strong points of the " satire on the British media world ".
