Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
There's something dehumanizing about 90s horror thrillers that all but defeats the film's impulses toward seriousness; no matter how much the filmmakers work to make the characters real, the genre contrives to turn them into functions and props.

rotten:
Despite excellent lead performances and numerous memorable scenes, this still feels like two different movies in one.
– Todd McCarthy,

rotten:
If his two leads are adequate to the slick mechanisms of a formulaic thriller, neither they nor Don Roos' script (based on the novel by John Lutz) offer any original insights into insatiable emotional dependence.

fresh:
The film is smooth, entertaining and believably sophisticated. It has far more sound psychological underpinnings than other movies of its type.

rotten:
Schroeder goes through the motions -- the movie is elegantly made -- but this synthetic Hollywood package panders shamelessly to the baser instincts.
