Recommandations

TV Guide Magazine
Very entertaining, if thoroughly silly. - 40
Chicago Reader
An intriguing noir whose conceptual sophistication is partly undermined by naive execution. - 38
Philadelphia Inquirer
A pointless modern morality play set in various sleazy locales that offer sex, drugs, assorted perversions, bare-knuckle fights, and even Russian roulette where lives are wagered for money. - 33
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
The lapses in logic make a weak subplot about a serial killer on the loose just plain silly instead of provocative. - 30
Film.com
A standard morality tale, and looks especially weak in the shadow of "Eyes Wide Shut" and "Fight Club," which it resembles. - 30
Village Voice
Isaac Eaton wrote and directed; he evidences little talent in either department. - 25
New York Daily News
A cheaply voyeuristic story whose "twist" is hardly worth the wait. - 25
San Francisco Chronicle
Cynical to an extreme, it doesn't illustrate its points but blasts them at us -- in italics, boldface and capital letters.
