Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Kaufman's PC adaptation falls awkwardly between the conventions of the Hollywood conspiracy thriller and something intended as more artily significant.

I found it pretty entertaining, as well as provocative in some of its comments about contemporary life.

rotten:
When working in genre territory before, the idiosyncratic Kaufman has shown a marked tendency to debunk or subvert conventions. Playing it straight here, he brings little to the table.

rotten:
As the plot grows more intricate, strangely the tension dissipates, until finally the movie just seems to run out of breath.

rotten:
It would be nice to see Connery doing something intrinsically interesting instead of trying to make something inherently dull entertaining. And it would be good to see Snipes cut loose more than he is able to here.
