Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
Egoyan simply offers too much in terms of twists and trysts.
Tom Long, Detroit News
Rotten
A mystery-inside- a-mystery that mostly just drives around in search of a nonexistent address and hits dead ends.
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
Rotten
Replete with the sort of wooden acting, sleazy atmosphere and unsexy eroticism one normally associates with late-night Cinemax movies.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
Rotten
Every face on screen seems wrong for the part chosen.
Michael Booth, Denver Post
