Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
My, my, such a high-tech setting -- too bad it's marred by such a low-tech plot.
There's not an original note in Howard Franklin's screenplay or Peter Howitt's direction.
The flashy topicality amounts to little, and Peter Howitt's slavishly generic direction doesn't help.
As sly as it is knowing, and played with wit to match its conviction.
