Critic Reviews

With it's many knotty connections and complex exposition, the movie is definitely something of a muddle, but for that matter so are most conspiracy theories.Full Review

Rita Kempley
Washington Post

You're set up for when director Richard Donner -- who worked with Gibson on all three audience-pleasing Weapons -- switches the movie from a really interesting, jittery, literate, and witty tone poem about justified contemporary paranoia (and the creatively unhinged dark side of New York City) to an overloaded, meandering iteration of a Lethal Weapon project that bears the not-so-secret stamp of audience testing and tinkering.Full Review

Entertainment Weekly

Unfortunately, the parts of the movie that are truly good are buried beneath the deadening layers of thriller cliches and an unconvincing love story.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

It's just a simple thriller whose goal is little more than to keep moving.Full Review

Mick LaSalle
San Francisco Chronicle

Instead of a scalding brew of mirth and malice, served black, Donner settles up a tepid latte, decaf.Full Review
