Michael Thomson BBC.com Rated: 3/5 Nov 13, 2001 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 11, 2005 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 0.5/5 Dec 8, 2002 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Simpson has created an intelligent, well-acted, twisty, spellbinding, dark and moody film that questions if what you are seeing is believable. Rated: B+ Nov 20, 2002 Full Review MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher Like a bemused John Cusack stumbled into a very loud Steven Seagal shoot-'em-up. Sep 23, 2002 Full Review Ian Mantgani UK Critic I thought the movie was going to follow through, but it settles into a conventional man-on-the-run formula. Rated: 2/4 Nov 13, 2001 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Creaks under the weight of its pedestrian plotting and perforated plausibility Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member like dark city without the creepy things Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member 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! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
