Empire Magazine

A thriller that means well but falls some way short of thrilling.

The plot scatters too many pieces about, putting the film's star off screen for long stretches.

Rated: 2/5

Brian Henry Martin

UTV

"We need something new" says Meaney's world-weary cop to himself in one strange scene, "Not the same old thing. Please God, not the same old pattern!", which made me think, was he talking about the escalating murders or the slumping script?

Rated: 4/10

Graham Young

Birmingham Mail

With lines like 'Nobody is ever happy until they are grieving again', [Colm] Meaney is at his best simply talking to himself, trying to make sense of a generation of madness.

Rated: 3/5

This was pretty dismal. The story had some minor potential however this disintegrated. Script was terrible. Points of reflection by the characters were cringe worthy. It also became a bit of a farce with the constant reuse of extras.
