Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The movie shows that the only thing worse than a generically screwy thriller is one with a selective narrator -- and one that doesn't give viewers a fair chance to play along.
A rarely suspenseful thriller with a twist ending of the worst kind: It takes too much explanation.
The movie would perhaps like to say something serious about the ease with which modern communications allows us to be multiple personalities, but that effort is lost in ineptitude.
Some films are marred by absurd endings; this dire journo-thriller is like one big mar.
