L.A. Weekly
This nastily efficient thriller from British newcomer John Simpson offers a low-budget, high-tech expression of the idea that just because you're paranoid doesn' mean they'e not after you. - 70
Los Angeles Times
While the clammy character is difficult to warm up to, Evans' riveting performance gradually and uncomfortably allows us to empathize. - 60
Variety
Signals a talented newcomer in writer-director John Simpson and boasts a gripping central performance from popular British comedian Lee Evans. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
Repetitive and ultimately a victim of its own hysteria, the U.K. indie is nonetheless an impressive exercise in high-tech gothic style, with a convincingly deranged Lee Evans. - 40
The A.V. Club
