Reviews
Paul Attanasio wrote in the Washington Post that for Emilio Estevez Wisdom was a sacrifice of his time. As a thriller, the film is "dull", but it does not offer a good analysis of a criminal's psychic either. Demi Moore enliven the film with her “sarcastic” dialogue parts.
Jack Sommersby scoffed at efilmcritic.com that the “terrible” directing by debutant Estevez could only please his mother.
The magazine TV14 14/2006 described the film as “exciting” and certified it “dry wit”.
