Simpson has created an intelligent, well-acted, twisty, spellbinding, dark and moody film that questions if what you are seeing is believable. Go to Full Review MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher Sep 23, 2002
Like a bemused John Cusack stumbled into a very loud Steven Seagal shoot-'em-up. Go to Full Review Ian Mantgani UK Critic Nov 13, 2001

I thought the movie was going to follow through, but it settles into a conventional man-on-the-run formula. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jan 18, 2011 Creaks under the weight of its pedestrian plotting and perforated plausibility See more Aug 29, 2008 Hampered by a low budget yet the narrative is strong enough to keep you watching. Better than you'd think with plot holes being rightly filled. See more Mar 15, 2008 like dark city without the creepy things See more Jan 12, 2008 Holy crap! This movie was one fast ride--it felt like it was 10 minutes long and I kept wanting it to go on and for Jasper to find a way out. I worship the awesomeness that is Steven Mackintosh!
