Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Wispy threads of dramatic plausibility and character involvement unravel completely by the time of the incredibly silly final reel.

fresh:
Never loses its bearings as it hovers between preposterous paranoia and a Billy-Wilder-like moral fable about a deeply flawed hero who draws a line in the sand beyond which he cannot go.

fresh:
The film echoes the technical wizardry and complex plotting of De Palma's best film, Blow Out.
