 "...aspires to be an action movie and a thriller -- two genres in which style is everything -- but ends up looking like a hyper-violent CBS drama." |

 "...a movie with a big backdrop -- issues of class, the workings of the mind, a changing society -- and a narrow focus." |

 "...for serious action movie buffs. Neither outrageous nor self-conscious, it looks and moves like any number of good late-'80s/early-'90s action flicks." |

 "...light and occasionally very funny... one of the smartest and most accomplished films to emerge from under the Tyler Perry banner." |

 "...a sleepy sex farce about stock characters who find themselves in clichéd situations.... This is bland hackwork; its crime isn't incompetence, but indifference." |

 "...so firmly attuned to colors, sounds and stray shafts of light that it forgets that it has a plot.... a frustrating movie that no amount of visual jazz can liven up." |
