Variety
A fantastical romp with a buoyant pace, exotic locations, a finger-popping score, appealing leads and spicy cooking demonstrations. - 40
TV Guide Magazine
The film's tone is hard to pin down, especially with the actors dubbed flatly into English. - 38
New York Post
It's hoary and clunky even by the low standards of contemporary thrillers. - 30
The New York Times
The movie, which is crudely dubbed into English, lacks the raucous, anything-for-a-shock carnival humor of its American prototypes. After it's over, the only question worth asking is whether dear, cozy old Heidelberg can survive the slander.
