REVIEWS BY CRITICS

“..whether it's the odd directorial tic of freeze-framing during moments of violence - perhaps intended to suggest a sort of rage-induced blackout, but which feels like a projector glitch - or the offputting cadence shifts in editing..”
by Andrew Barker [Variety]
“..instead, the movie's 90 minutes of effective, grueling, increasingly ugly, eventually ridiculous suspense..”
by Ty Burr [Boston Globe]
“..it's careless storytelling - and unfortunately, it's typical of the bizarre choices and the lazy, sloppy structure that inform the last 20 minutes of the film..”
by Ian Buckwalter [NPR]
