Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
I don't see this slightly better-than-average drug thriller, with slightly better-than-average direction by Steven Soderbergh, as anything more than a routine rubber-stamping of genre reflexes.

The promise of Sex, Lies, and Videotape has been fulfilled.

Director Steven Soderbergh is riding one of the hottest streaks in the movie world.
