In Roy Orbison terms, enduring this movie is like working for The Man.

At what point do you know that a movie isn't just bad, it's off-the-scale, surrender-all-hope, no-turning-back bad?
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
Rotten
At a zippy 83 minutes (including an ingenious title sequence that sets up the crime), The Man could be a lot worse. But with this kind of talent, it should be a lot better.
Ted Fry, Seattle Times

The Man arrives in theaters today with a sheet over its head and a tag on its toe.
