Robert Abele Los Angeles Times Apr 12, 2012
1.5/5
Has all the dramatic punch of a community theater production. Go to Full Review
Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Apr 12, 2012
1/5
Too lifeless for Lifetime and too inept to do justice to its source material... Go to Full Review
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Apr 12, 2012
2/4
The plot, in short, is underwhelming. It merely follows the reporters as the screenplay serves them the solution to their case on a silver platter. Go to Full Review
Philip Martin Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Apr 29, 2012
80/100

David Noh Film Journal International Apr 13, 2012
