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

DAVIDE B 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Sopivan nihilistinen alusta loppuun. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Nonsense & far-fetching. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member ????? ????????"???????"??????????????????????????? Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member there's never a dull moment!
