A rollicking cat-and-mouse thriller in bad weather. And no dog.

Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
Salomon directed the silly but diverting action yarn, which benefits from the talents of Freeman, Quaid, Driver, and White.

ReelViews by James Berardinelli
It's not just about a disaster, it is a disaster.

The New York Times by Lawrence Van Gelder
A well-cast disaster movie more notable for special effects and stunts than for credible drama.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) by Liam Lacey
The characters don't stay still long enough for the audience to worry about them. The high-priced actors (Freeman is especially wasted) are so much flotsam in the big water-tank action scenes.

Chicago Reader by Lisa Alspector
A better disaster movie than it is a thriller.

Austin Chronicle by Marc Savlov
Tired and formulaic.

San Francisco Chronicle by Mick LaSalle
A stupid movie -- but a deliriously stupid movie, which gives it a certain grandeur.

Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
One of those movies that never convince you its stories are really happening.
