Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com The film never generates any suspense, and the twists not only go in expected directions, but pop up in all the expected places. Rated: 2/4 Jan 20, 2007 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jul 27, 2005 Full Review Reel.com Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 15, 2002 Full Review Kurt Dahlke Apollo Guide Rated: 27/100 Apr 20, 2001 Full Review Bill Chambers Film Freak Central I recommend the film inasmuch as one can dime-store fiction/straight-to-video rabble. Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 11, 2001 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com Recommended... only for masochists. Rated: 1.5/5 Mar 29, 2001 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member GREAT FILM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Considero que es una buena pelicula. Aun cuando la trama no genera el suspenso necesario si me parece que ha sido bien actuada. Tanto Henstridge como Macfadyen y FOnda, logran interpretar unos buenos papeles. La hisotria no es la mejor que he visto, pero definitivamente tiene unos momentos culminates que la hacen merotoria de ver y el final es bastante sorpresivo. Asi que, si tienen un poco de tiempo para ver la pleicula, podria ser que la disfruten aunque no puedo garantizarles nada. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Very interested movie, with a plot that has a difeerent ending... I didn't see it coming. Would recommend anyone to watch it at least once> Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I couldn't get into this at first but as it went on It got better ,I liked it was wierd but thats me liking wierd flicks. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A Neo-Noir that suffers from such lazy writing that it borders on complete incompetence. The script is straightforward and dull with only an occasional clever line of dialog here and there ("I may not remember yesterday, but I wasn't born yesterday"), making it a very uninvolving and slow picture to sit through. Add the fact that Henstridge can't act and Macfadyen, who can, doesn't in this picture either. The twist ending would have been clever if it wasn't painfully obvious (again, due to lazy writing). Peter Fonda is the only thing good about this film, but even fans of the Easy Rider should skip this... and to think this is from Darrell Roodt, the Oscar-nominated director of "Yesterday"! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member just an ok movie, but well worth the watch just for the surprise twist at the end. that?s all I?m saying. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/24/07 Full Review Read all reviews
