REVIEWS RATE: Critics Readers Be the 1st!

“..the movie has such a simple, straightforward, low-key approach -- as well as a uniformly likable cast -- that even if we never belly laugh or have our insides churning with tension, Stand Off makes for an enjoyable viewing experience..”

by Perry Seibert [TV Guide]

Review rate : D

“..a thunderously unfunny mess, anchored by a pair of performances that are screechy (McMann) and completely colorless (Fraser), with the conflict escalating without anything even remotely resembling tension..”

by Drew Taylor [The Playlist]
