In a demanding role light on dialogue, Sutherland's rangy, loping physicality serves both the character and the action well ...

Toronto Star

Dagg does a decent job of helming a tale that is not particularly complex or edifying, although an interesting twist at the end will almost certainly divide audiences.

Rated: 2.5/4

The Hollywood Reporter

Sutherland is superbly frayed, seeming to get appreciably thinner and more shell-like every minute.

[Sutherland] pitches his performance at a delicate point between a good man struggling to extricate himself out of a dire situation, and a white man who can't think outside the entitlement box.

Rated: 4/5

Dagg keeps things simple, but his jogging camera whips up the urgency and he's well-served by Sutherland's rangy physicality.

Rated: 3/5

This cat-and-mouse thriller might be set in Laos, but its contrivances are right out of Hollywood.

The movie isn't particularly thrilling it's more of a meandering bore.

A movie that makes you question your morality. However, the movie ends halfway through the plot. Instead of exploring the consequences of Lake's actions the director left the film open ended.
