The film takes its sweet time to get to where we sense it’s going, and then quickly runs out of steam when it does.

Rated: 2/5

El Heraldo

The rapid transformation of the script, is not entirely convincing. While such changes break the monotony of a conventional narrative, in this context they feel somewhat implausible. [Full review in Spanish]

It's quite suspenseful, but boy is it overlong.

Cinemalogue

Despite strong performances, the atmospheric film is more effective at recalling genre influences than yielding much tension or intrigue of its own. But at least the exotic backdrop is visually appealing.

El Mundo (Spain)

A romantic thriller in the most classic style, resplendent on the outside and very dark on the inside. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 3/5

El Pais (Spain)

But when the thriller takes over the action, the unevenness returns, with some embarrassing moments and some fine ones...

It's entertaining...Matt Dillon is always great to watch ...but such a pity of a script. Pure cliche. How long can writers keep on making Hitchcock films, I wonder.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
