Arnold may have just reinvented his career yet again.

The New Yorker

Sadly, as the characters converge, the rest of the movie loses force; it slackens and then rushes, and the time frames feel out of joint.

Simran Hans

Observer (UK)

Helped along by a gloomy, oppressive score, it neither thoughtfully examines themes of trauma, guilt and grief nor moves with any sort of haste to its eventual, obvious, revenge-thriller conclusion, despite its short 90-minute running time.

Rated: 2/5

Reel Film Reviews

...a well-intentioned misfire that squanders the first-class work of its charismatic stars.

Rated: 2/4

Deep Focus Review

If the drama evokes any emotion at all, it's frustration that, aside from McNairy's turn, the experience remains incapable of evoking any genuine emotion.

Rated: 1/4

To say that Schwarzenegger is exceptional here feels somewhat an understatement.

Hard to see a dramatic Arnold movie without some kind of a revenge story behind it.....was a decent story, but slow and dull

This was a movie that I didn't find one thing to say good about it. I didn't personally "hate" things in the movie, but it just left me wishing I had that time back to watch something... almost anything else. It was a true waste of time.

Reviewers: William O and J G should not watch any movies and stick to the fabulous formula of Fast and Furious 79 or something. And try to fly somewhere instead of sitting on the couch. slow off-peak movie having some great performances for Arnold.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

A very believable and disturbing movie. The actors and writing is very good. It is easy to imagine the awfulness of this situation. Schwarzenegger is excellent.

William O

Possibly the most shallow, off key melodrama ever committed to celluloid. I you want to be bored comatose, at least be bored comatose by something of quality (Ibsen and O'Neil are always lurking).

Rated 1 out of 5 stars
