- 63New York PostLou LumenickNew York PostLou LumenickNever-quite-believable crime drama.
- 60Film ThreatFilm ThreatWhen you have Bruce Dern and Randy Quaid in a movie, you have expectations. Those two rarely disappoint, and that continues to be the case here.
- 50VarietyScott FoundasVarietyScott FoundasIt's a fantastic-looking picture in search of a decent script.
- 50The A.V. ClubNathan RabinThe A.V. ClubNathan RabinThe middling new Milwaukee, Minnesota, on the other hand, qualifies as 100 percent faux-noir. It recycles much from classic thrillers but has little to add.
- 50Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittChristian Science MonitorDavid SterrittA very uneven dark comedy.
- 40Village VoiceVillage VoiceSaddled with an improbable plotline and an incoherent character, Garity demurs on the invitation to overact.
- 40The New York TimesJanet MaslinThe New York TimesJanet MaslinMr. Garity's performance doesn't quite redeem this sorely lacking production.
- 40L.A. WeeklyErnest HardyL.A. WeeklyErnest HardyMore predictable than its makers seem aware, its emotional hooks much too dull to pull us in.
- 40Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasLos Angeles TimesKevin ThomasNot quite the sum of its occasionally interesting parts. Most of its cast makes strong impressions, but the plot and motivation don't quite jell, resulting in a minor item that shows its star Troy Garity to good advantage.
- 30TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghTV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghA riot of artfully grungy hotel rooms, sleazy costumes and sordid behavior, Allan Mindel's directing debut gives off the smug air of hipsters at play, making it hard to care what happens to any of its lost souls and inept opportunists.
