You may feel as if you're watching two or three abbreviated episodes of Law & Order in quick succession rather than a fully realized movie.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
Los Angeles Times by Gary Goldstein
Contrived and predictable yet fairly tense.
The A.V. Club by Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
A courtroom thriller that becomes sillier and more generic as it zips along. It moves fast (a rare quality for a contemporary thriller), but doesn’t end up going anywhere interesting.
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
In lieu of tension, the film is stuffed with crazed musical crescendos, amateurish structural feints and pregnant pauses that cry out for the familiar “chu-CHUNG” of a “Law & Order” scene change.
This utterly unmemorable, uninspired and unnecessary genre exercise should fade from view so fast they might just as soon have called it “Without a Trace.”
