It keeps you tensed and anxious and never sure of how anything will turn out. You get your money's worth. Go to Full Review Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com 02/12/2016

To give credit where it's due, this lukewarm mess of a movie delivers what its title promises. Go to Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times 02/11/2016
This overly talky, slackly executed game of cat-and-mouse comes off as cheesy rather than chilling. Go to Full Review Matt Wells Starburst 12/30/2017

It's both cleverly written and directed. Go to Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 04/03/2016
The concept might have worked better as a short, where the bookend action sequences would have had more impact and the extended middle stretch wouldn't have included so many silly twists and misguided stabs at moral complexity. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Aaron C 10/29/2024 Great film a hidden gem.. See more Gerry M 03/06/2024 Worth a watch. Excellent performances. Manages to be cerebral and blood and guts exciting at the same time, with moral dilemmas circling like sharks. See more steve d 12/11/2022 Works well enough thanks to its committed preformances. See more 10/10/2020 I almost always find a Thomas Jane movie worth a watch this one held up. See more @jeroduptown 02/24/2019 Fishburne is a ruthless killer that gets captured on film by a little girl. She makes her way into Thomas' house and the standoff begins. Nothing too twisty happens - but it's an entertaining hour and a half. See more 01/15/2019 i thought this was pretty good See more Read all reviews
