In fact, its greatest accomplishment is how it takes such great talent and such a potentially textured subject and creates such an unbelievably dull, misguided and lifeless result.

Catherine Springer CathsFilmForum.com Apr 3, 2025 3/5 It is a fun game of cat-and-mouse, as one spy tries to root out another, but the film gets too bogged down in its own cleverness, as the audience loses track of all the games, making the film more of a mental mush than a stylish sizzle.

Catherine Springer CathsFilmForum.com Feb 3, 2024 1/5 A boring character drama about an uninteresting person...and a story more about his love life than anything having to do with cars.

Catherine Springer We Live Entertainment Feb 22, 2023 4/10 Neeson...sleepwalks through this film, injecting not a scintilla of charisma into one of literature’s most iconic characters.

Catherine Springer CathsFilmForum.com Jan 12, 2023 4/5 The story itself is heart-pounding (and heart-tugging) enough, so Howard allows the actors to stay subtle and nearly fade into the background, never pulling focus for the audience from the dire circumstances of the situation.
