Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The perfect high old time for audiences in the mood to be tossed into the spin cycle for a pulse-pounding thrill ride.

rotten:
O'Neill proves to be a squeamish screenwriter. He doesn't allow his villain to do anything truly unnerving until the story's nearly done.

rotten:
Constructed from so many ideas, characters and situations recycled from other movies that all the way down the river I kept thinking: Been there. Done that.
– Roger Ebert,

fresh:
If watched from a mildly amused, forgiving distance, the movie has its enjoyable moments -- good and campy.

fresh:
The thriller framework is still familiar, but the results exhibit a welcome freshness.
