 3/5 |
Enjoyable, stylishly directed thriller with a gripping plot and superb performances from Gosling and Hopkins. Full Review |

|
3/5 |
The two leads are on fine form, but the surrounding structure is too familiar from a thousand other films. Still, tense and occasionally twisty stuff. Full Review |

|
3.5/5 |
With a film this gleefully convoluted, we know we'll never figure it out before the screenwriters are ready to tell us. So we hang on and enjoy the ride. Full Review |

It's like an above-average episode of Columbo. Full Review |
||
 2/5 |
Here is a big, handsome shyster of a legal thriller, pleading with the viewer to stick with its preposterous twists and turns on the guarantee that the crowning revelation will blow our socks off. In this, as in all things, the film is not to be trusted. Full Review |

It’s enjoyable enough hokum Full Review |

|
2.5/5 |
Guilty of being half an hour too long and having a villain who's far more interesting than the hero, but still quite fun as a piece of puzzle-solving. Full Review |

|
3/5 |
The film is reminiscent of the kind of wealth-porn peddled by Adrian Lyne, and if you get bored with the plot, you can always pass the time picking out home furnishings. Full Review |

2.5/4 |
Doesn't hold up to a lick of scrutiny, which is a shame, since it provides such juicy material for a pair of contrasting actors... Full Review |

Um thriller bem realizado que abusa do talento da dupla principal para tentar se diferenciar de tantos outros exemplares do gênero. E quase consegue.

4/5 |
While you might feel conflicted between whether you're seeing Hannibal Lecter all over again or you're in awe because it's hauntingly brilliant, Anthony Hopkins and the film's makers molded pieces of the previous character into a uniquely tailored altered Full Review |
||
|
6/10 |
A light psychological thriller that works better on a technical level than a thematic or character-centric one. Full Review |
||
|
5/10 |
At no moment does this stop feeling like an especially glossy and especially joyless episode of Law and Order. Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
It's straightforward and nongimmicky (you don't have to wonder whodunit because we're told in the first few minutes), involves a minimum of blood and gore, and holds our interest nicely. Full Review |
||

B |
It's occasionally quite witty, it's able to tell us a great deal about its characters and their back stories in an economic fashion and its plot swings are surprising and compelling. Full Review |

|
7/10 |
Even if you don't leave the movie entirely satisfied, you won't have had a bad time, either. Full Review |
