As short on originality and sustained tension as it is long on striking widescreen vistas and impressive technical smarts.

Rehashing the cliches from several beaten-to-death movie categories doesn't add up to much.
Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle
Fresh
Patrick Hughes's bloody, brutal Australian thriller handles its B-movie premise with surprising precision, though the inclusion of several befuddling elements annoyingly puncture the suspense.
David Fear, Time Out New York
Fresh
Under writer-producer-director-editor Patrick Hughes, the suspense level is high and the action constant.
V.A. Musetto, New York Post
Rotten
The suspense that director Patrick Hughes manages to mount remains low-grade throughout and the plot never becomes entirely plausible.
Peter Brunette, Hollywood Reporter
