      Steven Oxman Variety But, while Lathan and Snipes have decent chemistry, the film never quite gets us to root for these characters enough to keep the story from edging consistently toward the tiresome. Jul 9, 2020 Full Review John Leonard New York Magazine/Vulture It's refreshing to see Snipes in a romantic role, and Lathan -- directed here, as she was in Love and Basketball, by Gina Prince-Blythewood -- is a wonder to behold. Feb 6, 2018 Full Review Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle "Disappearing Acts" is a made-for-cable film that's better than almost anything released in a commercial theater this year. Rated: 4/4 Feb 7, 2001 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 12, 2005 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com Rated: 4/5 Jan 12, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews
