Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Not as satisfying as it should be.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
Mindless, non-taxing fun, especially if you haven't read the book.
– Desson Thomson,
Washington Post,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
It twists and turns in all the expected places, and almost never rises above the ordinary.
– Hal Hinson,
Washington Post,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
A high-voltage charge of suspense, action and humor.
– Peter Travers,
Rolling Stone,
12 May 2001
fresh:
It's a successful frame-turner, no more, no less, and the pleasure we feel is every bit as mild and just as fleeting.
