Movie Reviews

Boston Phoenix - 9/10 by Brett Michel[Weaver is] the only one having any fun - and that includes the audience.
TheWrap - 9/10 by Alonso DuraldeThis isn't great cinema, or even a movie you'll remember four hours later, but as stupid thrill rides go, it's smart enough to show you a good time.
Cinemalogue.com - 8/10 by Todd Jorgenson... positions itself as a mindless series of shootouts and chase sequences.
New York Times - 7/10 by Stephen HoldenA catastrophe worth noting only for the presence of its name cast.
jackiekcooper.com - 5/10 by Jackie K. CooperAn average suspense thriller made a little better by a no holds barred performance from Sigourney Weaver
Tulsa World - 5/10 by Nour HabibI just wish The Cold Light of Day had a ray or two of intelligence. I'd even settle for some humor.
Creative Loafing - 4/10 by Matt BrunsonSigourney Weaver, who last year suffered the indignity of backing up Taylor Lautner -- Taylor Lautner, for God's sake -- in the daft Abduction, now finds herself essaying the role of the villain in another action flick that's nearly as dopey.
Birmingham Post - 4/10 by Graham YoungThere's the usual mixture of flying tables and chairs and various scrapes here and there while unknown director Mabrouk El Mechri tries to remember what he was supposed to be doing with the plot.
The Ooh Tray - 4/10 by Ed WhitfieldAn occasionally involving, always brusque chase movie that doubles as a whirlwind tour of Madrid.
Killer Movie Reviews - 4/10 by Andrea ChaseRather than defining those twists and turns with sharp punctuation, director Mabrouk El Mechri turns them into gentle speed bumps, making the film barely interesting rather than exhilarating
