A laughably disconnected hostage drama.
January 01, 2000
Crackling dialogue, surprising intelligence and an emotional wallop.
January 01, 2000
Bolotin repeatedly reminds the viewer of his lack of imagination.

It begins as a high school comedy romp and then abruptly turns into a TV cop show-caliber thriller.

...isn't so much a bad movie as an unfinished movie
January 01, 2000
Painfully obvious and cliched.

Too often writer/directors such as Light It Up's Craig Bolotin don't take the time to create a plausible plot and realistic dialog.
January 01, 2000
Writer-director Craig Bolotin wants to get our motors racing, our minds pondering and our hearts pumping. Laudable goals; shaky results.
January 01, 2000
Nelson, Whitaker and their talented, young co-stars give this film most of whatever juice it has.
January 01, 2000
The dialogue is ridiculous and condescending.
