Rolling StonePeter Travers
What these guys do for revenge during one hellish day in the Big Apple makes the panic room look like Barney's toy box. The film itself goes off the deep end way before the end credits. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineKen Fox
Bleak and complex moral thriller. Read full review

Village VoiceDennis Lim
Smitten by the symmetry of his parable, director Roger Michell crosscuts emphatically between the preening leads -- a strategy that only draws attention to the numerous lapses in logic and unpersuasive changes of heart while sidelining the lively supporting cast Read full review

SalonDamien Cave
Despite some solid acting and cinematography -- mistakenly turns what should have been a fast-paced thriller into a cerebral sermon about the slippery slope of corporate law. Read full review

Wall Street JournalJoe Morgenstern
A curious combination of strident preachment and smartly farcical thriller; it's heavy-handed and light-footed at the same time.

Definitely erratic, this thing -- all in all, it's the sort of commercial vehicle you might want to stay well back of. Read full review
