Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
It pulls out more stops than that old silent serial The Perils of Pauline. Unfortunately, it's a talkie.
– Peter Rainer,
New York Magazine/Vulture,
24 Feb 2002
rotten:
A sappy, melodramatic Denzel Washington vehicle that ensnares you in the standard hostage-movie scenario and doesn't let go until the director runs the whole playbook.
– Bill Muller,
Arizona Republic,
4 Mar 2002
rotten:
Manipulative sentimentality, contrived plot and phony climax.
– Rex Reed,
New York Observer,
13 Mar 2002
rotten:
A polemic in search of a plot.
– Jeff Strickler,
Minneapolis Star Tribune,
6 Nov 2002
fresh:
A coercive script by James Kearns, and some middling direction by Nick Cassavetes, can't rob the movie of an undeniable, headlong crowd-pleasing power as it tackles an issue that touches us all.
– John Patterson,
L.A. Weekly,
