Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Stylish, improbable, entertaining, superficial, well cast, and totally synthetic.

rotten:
As a convoluted caper it generates action rather than character and surface mystery rather than meaning.
– A.H. Weiler,

rotten:
A confusing and not very exciting private eye caper.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

rotten:
An interminable drag.

rotten:
Unfortunately, Rosenberg directs flatly, hopping from one set piece to the next, disjointedly throwing characters of varying interest across Newman's path.
