rotten:
I was interested all through the movie--interested, but not riveted.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

rotten:

– Lou Lumenick,
New York Post,
8 Dec 2000
rotten:
Proof of Life is intelligent, but culturally biased and less than altogether compelling.
– Jay Carr,
Boston Globe,
8 Dec 2000
fresh:
Well directed, superbly acted, full of conflicting emotions and has subtle psychological shifts in loyalties.
