New York PostLou LumenickNov 19, 2015
This version, flatly directed and risibly written by Billy Ray, is saddled with endless coincidences, questionably motivated characters and an utterly laughable climax. Read full review

The Americanized version is miscast, misguided and misbegotten. Read full review

The central mystery has been drastically altered to fit Julia Roberts, its most telling clue diluted, and a signature sequence that made soccer exciting now makes baseball duller. Read full review
