Total Film
A jagged, unbalanced (in every sense) revenge flick that nonetheless offers up twists and brooding noir-ness.

Time Out
A way-too-leisurely thriller whose destination is fairly obvious from early on, but to which the talented cast apply themselves with effortful seriousness.

The New York Times
The movie might have been better if its director had played with the genre clichés stuffed in this turkey instead of going for straight-up action.

Little White Lies
Any film in which Isabelle Huppert is cast and then given absolutely nothing to do is a crime against cinema.

Hollywood Reporter
That crack cast still keeps things involving, especially Rapace's emotionally and physically disfigured Beatrice.

Empire Magazine
A pleasingly intricate double (or is it triple?) revenge plot anchored by excellent acting, with a terrific burst of action at the climax.

A.V. Club
It takes forever to get going, unspooling its hopelessly convoluted, unwieldy plot.
