The film is an atmospheric and complex thriller that, while not quite living up to its thematic ambitions, is defiantly foreign and more than sustains interest along the way.

John Anderson

Variety

The action is compelling, the film good looking, the acting first rate and the circumstances -- people from neglected nations in an alienating if not hostile urban landscape -- is moving.

New York Post

The story unfolds in nonlinear fashion, with the same events being shown several times, from different perspectives. The concept works especially well with the murder spree that sets up the movie.

Rated: 3/4

Maitland McDonagh

TV Guide

Serbian cinematographer Vladimir Subotic's photography transforms New York's outlying neighborhoods and anonymous streets into a weather-beaten dreamscape suffused with mystery, danger and the hope of heaven.
