      Alan Jones Radio Times The film contains enough engaging twists and turns to entertain, as long as you're able to ignore the mounting improbabilities of the plot. Rated: 3/5 Apr 3, 2023 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews The unusual plot twists with religious overtones kept me tuned into this entertaining thriller despite not being a true believer in its fanciful denouement.
