3.5/5
"The well-directed cast competently handles the genre material"  Filmcritic.com  Chris Barsanti

"The film, from acclaimed Icelandic director Baltasar Kormakur, blows a lot of smoke, but once it clears there's not much left, and the story putters to an unsatisfying conclusion."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

"If you can't figure it out ( ... ) you're officially out of the Scooby Gang."  Planet Sick-Boy  Jon Popick

2/4
"Reconfiguring the objectives of a standard murder mystery requires more than these stock character studies of wounded daddies, which exude sham profundity via a high-toned grim realism."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

4/4
