Tomatometer
Fresh
A taut second half in which the plot turns back on itself in some surprising twists makes up for the lethargic first half.
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Fresh
A sense of unreality permeates the movie, which allows for some far-fetched plot turns. Far-fetched is OK. Close-fetched thrillers aren't worth watching.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
The movie feels longer than its 90 minutes.

Gossip is mostly hot air.
