The Hollywood Reporter
An intense Mel Gibson performance anchors this brutally effective crime thriller. - 75
Entertainment Weekly
His (Gibson) slow-burn fury keeps the movie going, but not enough to invest us in any justice beyond payback. - 70
Village Voice
Onscreen much of the time, thicker and more creased than you remember, Gibson can make this rather unshapely movie seem taut. - 70
Arizona Republic
Both the film and television project were directed by Martin Campbell. He creates a nice level of tension throughout, and there are a couple of legitimate shocks (including one jaw-dropper). - 60
Variety
Campbell's topnotch production team yields predictably polished results, but the director's decision to revisit the late Troy Kennedy Martin's teleplay, finally, feels lacking. - 60
Time Out
There’s no room for such soul-searching uncertainty with Gibson. After a few rapidly ticked-off minutes of gloom, the mission is clear: Get the sons of bitches, and make ’em pay. - 60
Boxoffice Magazine
They’ve shed all of the Brit-centric political aspects and updated it to make a riveting, pulse-pounding suspense thriller that really does keep you on ‘edge.’ - 50
Orlando Sentinel
An odd duck of a thriller. Quiet, talkative, with the occasional explosion of violence, it has ghosts and characters philosophizing, quoting F. Scott Fitzgerald or blurting insensitive non-sequiturs.
