[The film] has more holes than Bush's war plan and employs less fluent English.
Bill Gallo, Village Voice

Nobody's better than Michael Douglass as playing that guy who makes that big mistake, and then spends the rest of the movie trying to atone for it.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten
If you're going to make a movie with the same title as a second-rate horror film, it should at least be as entertaining as that second-rate horror film.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
Fresh
A well-constructed and genuinely tense thriller.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
