“..Though ultimately flawed, the film's depiction of velvet-gloved cruelty and matter-of-fact betrayal is surprisingly potent..”
by Maitland McDonagh [TV Guide]
“..the whole thing feels fusty and forced..”
by Carina Chocano [LA Times]
“..Slow-moving, badly acted and painfully pretentious drama that fails to engage on any level..”
by Matthew Turner [ViewLondon]
“..looks tired, slightly soft in the middle, and yet there is a raw, hard-won honesty here that puts most contemporary US movies to shame..”
by Xan Brooks [The Guardian]
“..Dialogue-dependent, hard to fathom and generally poorly acted, this slow-paced D.C.-based murder mystery is a misjudged bore..”
by Bob Strauss [LA Daily News]
