Reviews:
James Berardinelli: "To say the acting is unreasonably bad would be kind. It's an indication of how little McGregor cares about the role that his American accent, which is usually impeccable, frequently slips. At least Jackman's remains rock-solid, which is more than can be said for his hammy performance.”
Mark Olsen, Special to The Times: “No small factor of what makes the film such a disappointment is the extremely talented and likable cast, all of whom deserve better roles than this, no matter the state of their mortgages or children's college funds.”
Andrew L. Urban: “There are some especially implausible aspects to the final scenes, but only if you're being picky. The film intends to be a character driven thriller, and those are good intentions. There is indeed a strong sense of the story being driven by character, but some of the elements are underdeveloped or ill conceived, and once the premise is revealed, there is a predictability to the unravelling that lessens the tension.”
