Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Strains to wring tension from a tired premise and an airless script.
– Jeannette Catsoulis,

rotten:
There's little fun involved, for either the audience or the diner patrons.
– Tom Long,
Detroit News,

rotten:
What dribbles out is a series of repetitive, dull, cliched showdowns until most of the cast is gruesomely dispatched and the twist-that-isn't-a-twist is revealed.
– Robert Abele,

rotten:
A spectacularly boring chamber thriller.
– Andrew Barker,

rotten:
Mark Young's bargain-basement thriller is as witless as the captor's motive; to paraphrase another well-dressed Madsen psycho, this little doggie barks, but it has no bite.
