      Audience Member A very good concept, original and laden with potential, but it just doesn't get there. Not really the usual culprits' faults (screenplay, hollywood stereoptyping). It just deserved better. Warrants a reprise and a better budget. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Histoire de rendre hommage au rà (C)alisateur George Hickenlooper dà (C)cà (C)dà (C) hier (je crois), je me suis retapà (C) "Persons Unknown" qui, à mon avis, a très bien vieillit et cela malgrà (C) ses quelques maladresses. Pas un grand film, mais une oeuvre qui vient me chercher de par son thème principal (la rà (C)demption) et de par ses personnages qui, outre certains des "mà (C)chants", sont nuancà (C)s et crà (C)dibles. J'espère qu'une à (C)ventuelle sortie en DVD rendra justice à un film qui, selon moi, mà (C)rite un peu plus que sa mà (C)diocre cote (5.3 je crois) sir IMDB... :) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Decent cast wasted on a by the numbers script, maybe worth seeing for Watts or Mantegna completists. J.T. Walsh is fantastic, of course, but hardly gets any scenes. Instead, Mantegna sexes up Lynch and scraps with dumb thugs like Favreau somewhat convincingly. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Mediocre tv-thriller about group of people who decide to rob some drugmoney and ex-cop who gets tangled on this web of crime. It was nice to see Naomi Watts and Kelly Lynch play sisters since they actually do look a like. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Ryan Gilbey Independent (UK) [Director George] Hickenlooper himself cannot get a firm grasp on the trashy noir dynamics of the piece, and by the final 20 minutes, all credibility and sympathy has dissolved. Rated: 2/5 Mar 28, 2019 Full Review Matthew Sweet Independent on Sunday The film takes a dive into absurdity.
