Reviews & comments
Total Film
pressA jagged, unbalanced (in every sense) revenge flick that nonetheless offers up twists and brooding noir-ness.
Time Out
pressA 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
pressThe 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
pressAny film in which Isabelle Huppert is cast and then given absolutely nothing to do is a crime against cinema.
Hollywood Reporter
pressThat crack cast still keeps things involving, especially Rapace's emotionally and physically disfigured Beatrice.
Empire Magazine
pressA 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
pressIt takes forever to get going, unspooling its hopelessly convoluted, unwieldy plot.
