| DVDTalk.comDavid CorneliusAn excellent thriller that shouldn't go overlooked by fans of the genre. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineEven though the film meanders a bit, the skilful direction and camerawork combine with strong acting to create an engaging, insinuating thriller |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzDespite its missteps, I thoroughly enjoyed the thriller. |
| 7M PicturesKevin CarrIt's a complex web of story in this film, but hardly hard to follow. |
| sbs.com.auSimon FosterA good film from an accomplished director but one that is well down the list of his finest achievements. |
| Boxoffice MagazineRichard MoweThere are too many subplots going on to make it work other than as a mildly intriguing curiosity. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonThe film's atmosphere is so potent and the characters so richly drawn that we can forgive a few odd connections and coincidences. |
| User ReviewJosh WUn film à l'ambiance unique, épaisse, riche. Sa richesse est de se servir de l'intrigue policière comme arrière-plan à l'histoire intérieure de Dave Robicheaux. Comme toujours avec Tavernier, il concilie miraculeusement le genre et la justesse et la vérité des personnages. |
