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

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...

... we find ourselves with such an artificial script and unnatural staging that it is practically impossible to dive into the apparent games that the film wants to play. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 2/5

Cinemanía (Spain)

It is classic cinema that doesn't seem like it, more of an experiment than entertainment, more of a gamble than a response. [Full review in Spanish]

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
