Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
This is lowest-common-denominator gibberish that follows an extras-crowding, helicopter shot-abusing arc to a leaden finale.
– Keith Uhlich,

rotten:
A diverting but generic dose of psychologically thin B-movie suspense from the normally more outre Takashi Miike.
– David Rooney,

rotten:
An enticing blockbuster concept gets a lackluster execution from Japanese genre director Takashi Miike.
