Lou Lumenick New York Post IF Frank Langella hadn't received an Oscar nomination for "Frost/Nixon," it's pretty doubtful that an opaque oddity like Richard Ledes' The Caller would have managed even a one-week vanity booking at the Quad. Rated: 1/4 Feb 13, 2009 Full Review Stephen Holden New York Times A corporate crime drama that runs fatally amok. Rated: 1.5/5 Feb 13, 2009 Full Review Karina Longworth Time Out There's a vaguely appealing elegance to the way the film moves -- that is, when the actors stop spouting laughably portentous dialogue long enough for one to appreciate the film's pacing. Rated: 2/6 Feb 11, 2009 Full Review Paul Chambers CNNRadio Painfully obvious where this film is going after just ten minutes. Poorly written, poorly conceived. Rated: D+ Jul 16, 2009 Full Review Emily Blunt Blunt Review Here's a quiet lion..read on-> Rated: 3/4 Apr 27, 2009 Full Review Kam Williams Sly Fox Director Richard Leder was lucky enough to land actors of the caliber of Oscar-nominees Elliot Gould and Frank Langella only to squander their collective talents in service of a tedious yawner.
