Keith Uhlich Time Out 05/23/2013
This is lowest-common-denominator gibberish that follows an extras-crowding, helicopter shot-abusing arc to a leaden finale. Go to Full Review David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter 05/20/2013
A diverting but generic dose of psychologically thin B-movie suspense from the normally more outr Takashi Miike. Go to Full Review Peter Debruge Variety 05/20/2013
An enticing blockbuster concept gets a lackluster execution from Japanese genre director Takashi Miike. Go to Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine 08/10/2023
7/10
It’s a long film, perhaps 15 minutes too long, but Miike directs each sequence with a great eye for suspense and stylish camerawork. Go to Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com 08/12/2019
Too bad that Miike didn't realize that a languorous, slow burn requires substantial fuel. Go to Full Review Shaun Munro Film School Rejects 05/21/2013

DAVIDE B 09/02/2023 A B-movie with nothing to offer. I have seen better other movies on the same style but done much better. This doesn't worth the time. See more 02/03/2017 Sopivan nihilistinen alusta loppuun. See more 12/11/2015 Nonsense & far-fetching. See more 02/05/2015 ????? ????????"???????"??????????????????????????? See more 10/27/2014 there's never a dull moment! See more 01/24/2014 it was ok. Too lengthy and frustrating towards the end. See more Read all reviews
