Reaction: We at the studio were hoping that the names of Charlize Theron and Ethan Hawke would be enough to draw some crowds in, but the film ended up losing almost the same amount as their combined salaries (in an odd piece of trivia).
"Genetic Descent struggles to maintain its serious tone with its serious subject matter. Often times the films dives headfirst into melodrama and drug scenes that seems like they were lifted from an after school special." - Jeremy Raren, RottenTomatoes.com
"There are several scenes that border on the ridiculous, but the film thankfully has Charlize Theron at its center keeping the film alive with a strong performance." - Clark Davis, JoBlo.com
"Sure, the film is not at all a realistic portrayal of drug addiction - which seems to consist of fainting and skin scratching here - but it doesn't feature a strong ensemble who all brought their A-game." - Geoff Bray, Slant Magazine
