Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

The movie is good to look at and painfully intense at times -- not so much when the plot is squeezing in, as when we're invited to identify with Russell when she's looking for trouble.

Rated: 3/4

The trouble Lottie gets in is not very plausible, but it remains entertaining until the end. [Full review in Spanish]

I don't think this film was meant to be a comedy but I never laughed so much during a Mystery film. However, Theresa is amazing!

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

I watched this movie only because because Theresa Russell is in it, but was pleasantly surprised that it's actually a decent police thriller.
