Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 6, 2003 Full Review Emma Clark-Dow Stuff.co.nz The film shows its age, by playing out in a strange format that looks old and clunky... Mar 10, 2023 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Sep 29, 2005 Full Review Cheryl DeWolfe Apollo Guide Uneven action, flat acting, and a narrow plot that leaves little room for empathy. Rated: 54/100 Jul 2, 2004 Full Review Karina Montgomery Cinerina Crowe was at the screening of the movie and I wished someone would have asked him "How could you do this movie after doing LA Confidential?" Rated: 2 Oct 24, 2001 Full Review Read all reviews
