      Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: C Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Nell Minow Movie Mom A gem of a thriller. Rated: 4/5 Apr 18, 2003 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times The Idiot Plot, of course, is any plot that would be resolved in five minutes if everyone in the story were not an idiot. And rarely has there been a film in which more idiots make more mistakes than in this one. Rated: 1.5/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a solid (albeit erratic) endeavor... Rated: 3/4 Dec 29, 2022 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) In the end, eminently satisfactory, every piece falls in its rightful place in this railway of a puzzle. [Full review in Spanish ] Nov 10, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The editing leaves something to be desired, considering that gaps in time are presented with slow fade-outs, as if this were made for television. Rated: 5/10 Sep 16, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

      Ian W Even Gene Hackman and Ann Archer couldn't make this silly script into something worth watching and the director doesn't help. At times it's embarrassingly awkward making you feel for the actors. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/04/24 Full Review Steve D Nothing new but entertaining. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Aqueles velhinhos que apesar do tempo ainda entregam um bom caldo, uma trama simples e bem amarradinha, boas cenas de ação, fugas e tiroteios, atuações e efeitos coerentes, o filme se passa 90% das de um trem e ainda assim consegue ser criativo coerente... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review a.l.jude p A thriller we could find very rarely such as "Story runs without a flow" category. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Narrow Margin, directed by Peter Hyams and loosely based on the classic film noir of the same title I knew it sounded familiar. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member How about narrow margarine. But I do like Gene Hackman. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
