Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
It's unfortunate that it's all in the service of a story as dull as it is complicated, though if you can make it to the end without drifting off, there is a small reward.

rotten:
An empty experience; lots of shadow and noise, adding up to very little.

Its dark images echo in the mind's eye. And for that alone, it's worth seeing.

fresh:
For its retro-futurist look alone, this outdated thriller set in 2054 Paris is worth seeing.

fresh:
It's a testament to the production design that one quickly gets caught up in the story without ever completely losing the "ooh-ahh" factor. Ominous, wall-to-wall music bolsters the appropriately uneasy mood, and the bittersweet conclusion is satisfying.
