Critic Reviews

New Times (L.A.) Luke Y. Thompson

It's all a bit silly and predictable, but maybe that's the point. Read full review

Paul Malcolm

Railsback and Snodgrass struggle against caricature in their own fine performances. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

At times awkward and under-inspired, creating a question as to whether so gloomy and repugnant a tale was worth telling simply for its own sake. Read full review

Robert Koehler

A disappointingly mild re-creation of true events. Read full review
