| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasConsistently imaginative and persuasive in its plotting and writing. Tabak makes substantial demands on his wonderful cast but rewards them with roles of exceptional depth and dimension. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonMostly succeeds, thanks to Tabak's level pacing and Goldblum's rich performance. |
| TV GuideMaitland McDonaghScreenwriter Matthew Tabak's directing debut is carefully plotted, well acted and surprisingly free of cheap thrills. |
| Village VoiceJessica WinterAmid the awkward pacing and gaping plot holes, the film's chief point of interest is Goldblum's morbidly fascinating performance: equal parts Walter Neff and Captain Kirk. |
| New York PostJonathan ForemanBegins exceptionally well. Indeed, for at least its first half it's an unusually thoughtful, admirably underplayed piece of work of disorienting, rather harsh realism that builds its mysteries in pleasurably oblique and unpredictable ways. |
| User ReviewJeff EI wasn't expecting to enjoy this movie, but I did. It's kind of funny to me how some of the reviews mention how it's unrealistic ... maybe it is, but if we all were so enthralled with reality, why would we have the need to escape from it by watching movies?! Anyway, yeah, interesting movie and there's a moral in there somewhere, too. |
| User ReviewJanemarie CUnusual movie. A story about an man's obsession to right a wrong. Even if what happened wasn't his fault, he feels responsible and steps in, learning how to find himself in someone else's skin. |
| User ReviewJoshua LI found this movie more comedic than anything else. It's like the most serious Comedy I've ever seen. |
| User ReviewEmma JInteressante Idee, aber sehr, sehr langweilig umgesetzt |
| User ReviewR. RGoldblum gives an outstanding performance but Heche is so wrong for her part as the love interest that her role brings the whole film down. Despite being a huge Goldblum fan this film lost my attention less than halfway through. |
