It's too violent, too muddled and too pat to be much more than an average evening's entertainment on UPN.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten
Piling double-cross upon deception at a speed that quickly outpaces the audience's interest in what's happening.
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star

Wickedly funny.
Gene Seymour, Newsday
Rotten
Throw two very different people together. Then put them on the run, shot at by both police and bad guys. The recipe has produced some funny movies. Double Take isn't one of them.
