Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
An expert in making audiences squirm and twist, at making us feel the rush of experience right along with the actors, De Bont choreographs action and suspense so beautifully he makes it seem like a snap.

fresh:
It looks real, and Director Jan De Bont keeps the action coming so fast there's no time to question it.

rotten:
Effects apart, this is dire: predictable, cliched, sloppily written, pitifully performed and surprisingly short of real shocks and suspense.

rotten:
Even more than with most of Michael Crichton's concoctions, this one conveys the overwhelming impression of a mechanical entertainment, a very high concept in which the characters and their problems seem like utterly arbitrary creations.

You know a movie is in trouble when a cow provides its only moment of authentic human interest.
