Reviews

David Nusair criticized Reel Film Reviews for having too many subsidiary threads. Thanks to Michael Madsen you can watch the film. Kurt Dahlke wrote in the Apollo Movie Guide that the film was only for fans of Michael Madsen. He also criticized the unnecessary storylines. Dahlke mentioned that Joshua Leonard was known from the horror film Blair Witch Project .

“After a confused beginning, a carefully thought-out thriller develops that builds up its tension consistently and finds support in its good leading actor. However, the unreflective handling of violence and the hackneyed serial killer clichés are annoying. "
