Pretentious, perplexing and plain rock-dumb movie.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
Village Voice by Jessica Winter
High-buffed, low-rack pulp.
Watchable even when what's going on makes no sense whatsoever.
Chicago Tribune by Michael Wilmington
Tries to blend old film noir and new high-tech thriller styles with only sporadic impact.
San Francisco Chronicle by Mick LaSalle
Attempts to convey emotional dislocation and passion at the same time. All we get is distance.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer by Paula Nechak
A perfect example of form without content.
Rolling Stone by Peter Travers
Elliot fails to make the needed connection between the audience and a peeper who has lost his moral balance.
Not terribly enjoyable to watch.
Entertainment Weekly by Ty Burr
There's not much else for viewers to do but give themselves over to the whims of the bad-movie gods.
San Francisco Examiner by Wesley Morris
The single worst movie David Lynch never made.
