Movie Reviews

  • whatever the reason, the fact is that Alfredson's movie is a dull, under-motivated muddle of a "thriller," a movie that can't seem to muster much enthusiasm for its own procedural dynamics
    1.5 of 4 by Geoff Pevere [Globe and Mail ]
  • Sam Worthington and Jim Sturgess are solid as two of the four kidnappers, but Swedish director Daniel Alfredson pushes the caper button too many times
    2 of 5 by Joe Neumaier [NY Daily News ]
  • it's still fairly enjoyable and credit is due to its sterling cast, led by Anthony Hopkins as Heineken
    2.5 of 4 by Peter Howell [Toronto Star ]
  • it's all familiar, all expected, all rote. The resolution to the case offers some glimmer of what the movie might have been - a haunting shot of an empty street is more compelling than the scenes crowded with people - but that's about it
    2 of 5 by Bill Goodykoontz [Arizona Republic ]
  • a dull, trite thriller about their crime and undoing
    1.5 of 4 by Kyle Smith [New York Post ]
