Slant Magazine by

Sits awkwardly between shoot 'em up and psychological thriller without offering the excitement of either.

Chicago Sun-Times by Bill Stamets

Director Kasper Barfoed defaults to intense replays of surveillance audio recordings, frantic strokes on computer keyboards, and standard-issue chases.

Village Voice by Chuck Wilson

There are some decent shootouts, but the movie's strongest assets are the soulful performances Danish director Kasper Barfoed, making his American debut, draws from Cusack and Akerman.

Variety by Justin Chang

Sentencing a sad-looking John Cusack and a hard-working Malin Akerman to roughly 90 minutes of solitary confinement in a poorly lit underground bunker, this glum, juiceless spy thriller is a by-the-numbers affair indeed, unlikely to find an audience on any frequency.

New York Post by Lou Lumenick

The agent in this interesting little thriller — well played by John Cusack — is up to the Company’s usual dirty tricks.
