Entertainment Weekly
Anyone who thinks that Josh Hartnett isn't a true movie star should see his riveting, high-wire performance in August. - 75
TV Guide Magazine
Stylish, well acted drama. - 60
New York Daily News
There's not much to it, but Austin Chick's hyper-focused indie does serve as a nicely assured showcase for lead Josh Hartnett. - 50
Variety
This middling drama has no glaring faults, but simply lacks the intended urgency. - 42
The A.V. Club
Chick's underwhelming exploration of post-millennial angst is as empty and vacant as its protagonist's inexpressive peepers. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
Another among this year's crop of features that demonstrates that having a cast with indie cred can sometimes do little to buoy a film's miscalculated execution. - 30
The New York Times
The movie's amoral momentum is fatally slowed by an acronym-heavy script and flimsy characterizations that offer fine actors -- including Rip Torn as Tom's contemptuous father and Naomie Harris as his missed opportunity -- little to play. - 20
Film Threat
Tedious and ultimately pointless film.
