A sorry excuse for a thriller, with both narrative and character handled with remarkable ineptitude.

There is no psychological depth, no real motivation, no human values to weigh, just characters jerked here and there like puppets in an arbitrary plot.

It's brutal, horribly manipulative, and we've seen this stuff before in better pictures.

Ridiculous from start to finish. Connery, Harris, and Fishburne couldn't have wasted their time in a less productive fashion.

Connery is as steady as always....great twists

Good crime flick with strength in casting of Sean Connery.

Despite its merits, the script fails to escape the silly season that fouls up so many thrillers, that time when the twists merely seem like the narrative equivalents of those violin shrieks on a cheesy score.

Forgettable and less than thrilling.

It doesn't bog down in the bogs, but it's slow-moving just about everyplace else.

The longer you stay with it, the more routine and uninspired it seems -- not to mention cowardly.

In Connery it has a hero who is inescapably appealing.

...it's certainly impossible not to get a kick out of any film in which Sean Connery delivers the following line: "If that's a confession then my ass is a banjo!"
