| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertDavid Klass, the screenwriter, gives Freeman and Judd more specific dialogue than is usual in thrillers; they sound as if they might actually be talking with each other and not simply advancing plot points. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliIt features a pair of well-developed characters, the plot contains some clever twists and turns, the dialogue is reasonable, and director Gary Fleder (Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead) keeps the level of tension and intrigue high. Put together, all of that adds up to a worthwhile motion picture. |
| Los Angeles TimesJack MathewsFleder has directed three-quarters of a terrific movie and one-quarter of pure Hollywood baloney. After carefully building up the suspense and tension through Cross and McTiernan's search, spiked with nail-biting encounters on both coasts, Fleder lets it trail off in anti-climax and banal violence. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyA solid second film from director Gary Fleder ("Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead"), it's sure to set pulses racing and spines tingling. Too bad it's at the expense of the dignity of young women everywhere. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaThere is a critical void in the middle--the villain. |
| VarietyTodd McCarthyReplete with smart, capable characters and crimes so bizarre that they lend the film a suspiciously lurid nature, this tony suspenser is hampered by the presence of a villain who is all too obvious from the very beginning. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonThe movie -- adapted from James Patterson's novel by David Klass -- operates on the crime-movie equivalent of automatic pilot. It takes off, flies and lands without much creative intervention. |
| James Sanford on FilmJames Sanfordlike a good-looking blind date who promises dinner and a movie, then takes you to Burger King and "Wishmaster," the spell dissipates quickly, leaving you feeling seduced and abandoned. |
| AboutFilm.comCarlo CavagnaWhen a kidnapping victim escapes from a demented serial killer's hideout, you may want to carefully check the area in which she's found for the aforementioned hideout |
