Reviews

Emanuel Levy in Variety compares it to "the far more suspenseful, ambiguous and technically accomplished A Simple Plan ", the 1998 film directed by Sam Raimi, and states its "gifted ensemble does its best to elevate the suspenser above B-pic level, but after the first reel, pedestrian writing and sluggish helming make it clear that this crimer is destined for the small screen and video."
