| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertNext features Nicolas Cage as a clairvoyant who can see events before they occur. If anyone on the production team had similar abilities, they could have foreseen that the film was a folly in the making. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumAn immediately forgettable action pic directed with a blowtorch by Lee Tamahori. |
