Rex Reed Observer It keeps you tensed and anxious and never sure of how anything will turn out. You get your money's worth. Rated: 3/4 Feb 17, 2016 Full Review Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com To give credit where it's due, this lukewarm mess of a movie delivers what its title promises. Rated: 1/4 Feb 12, 2016 Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times This overly talky, slackly executed game of cat-and-mouse comes off as cheesy rather than chilling. Feb 11, 2016 Full Review Matt Wells Starburst Standoff is a wondrous display of two talented actors that need more recognition. Rated: 7/10 Dec 30, 2017 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews It's both cleverly written and directed. Rated: B Jul 20, 2016 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 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.

Aaron C Great film a hidden gem.. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/29/24 Full Review Gerry M Worth a watch. Excellent performances. Manages to be cerebral and blood and guts exciting at the same time, with moral dilemmas circling like sharks. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review steve d Works well enough thanks to its committed preformances. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I almost always find a Thomas Jane movie worth a watch this one held up. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/10/20 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member i thought this was pretty good Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
