Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
"...an effective thriller precisely because it is true to the way sophisticated people might behave in this situation." more... B+
Chicago Tribune

"...lacking what Glazer so furiously exhibited in his equally stylized freshman endeavor: heart." more... C+
E! Online "...it's totally weird." more... B

San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
"...the movie never delivers on its promises." more... C  
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
William Arnold
"...perversely but undeniably fascinating." more... C+
