Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
What do you say about a movie that sends you home in a frenzy to search for bugs? In the new age of Big Brother, that's entertainment.

rotten:
From there, with the mystery entirely gone and the thrills fading fast, the rest is pretty much a two-hour chase sequence, culminating in a hilariously maladroit shoot-out.

rotten:
Hard to sit through.

Since Scott could not make this film snap, crackle or pop faster or more loudly, you might find the evening a bit light.

fresh:
[Its] spirited action is balanced by an almost contemplative attitude toward surveillance phobias and the movie cliches they've spawned.
