Reaction: We were a little worried about this one, to be honest. We were concerned that the sexual content and the lack of A-list stars would hamper the financial performance of the film, but thankfully the film squeaked by with a small profit.


 "The weak, poorly-thought-out ending ruins an okay blackmail thriller. I could practically hear writer Lon Charles and director David Cronenberg shout 'Gotcha!'" - Charles Yost, The Oregonian




"Russian actress Veronika Vernadskaya stands out in a seductive and deceptive performance, and director David Cronenberg shows once again that he can always get a great performance out of Robert Pattinson." - Clark Davis, JoBlo.com



"The plot is preposterous. I've thought long and hard about how everything comes together in the end and I still can't figure it all out. Avoid this one if you appreciate common sense and logic." - Jeremy Raren, RottenTomatoes.com
