Critic Reviews

Enough action, a tiny pinch of sex and some campy moments from Morgan Fairchild.Full Review

Robert Koehler
Variety

The story delivers enough twists and turns to be engaging without feeling like work, and the overall vibe is dangerous and flirty rather than brutal or excessively graphic.Full Review

Maitland McDonagh
TV Guide

A sly, refreshingly grown-up gay entertainment, though rather less satisfying as a thriller.Full Review

Nathan Lee
The New York Times

Director Ron Oliver applies a thin veneer of straight-to-cable pseudo-gloss without finding a workable tone, and the cast lacks the charisma and chemistry to make the genre and gender-bending register as more than novelty.Full Review

Village Voice

So grimly determined to be even-handed that it never generates tension.Full Review
