 "Bland genre offering does nothing to put an ominous spin on an intriguing date.... Bousman's screenplay never gains momentum, due to its episodic structure, clichéd plot developments and consistently stiff, generic performances." |

 "...displays little stylistic originality.... As staggering as these statistics may be, this film only occasionally evinces the urgency necessary to motivate real social change." |

 "...delivers the thrills and gore it promises, although it's ultimately too lightweight and conventional to merit either cult or classic status." |

 "...an attempt at comic allegory that stretches a thin premise... Helmer's filmmaking skills aren't sufficient to the task of forging a coherent vision for the film." |

 "Cosmatos underpins his ambiguous, bare-bones narrative with impressively atmospheric sound design and frequent barrages of hallucinogenic effects." |

 "...best suited to existing fans of Bizet's classic.... a two-plus hour running time may prove an obstacle for the uninitiated.... 3D doesn't add a great deal..." |

 "Gibney's inclination to follow multiple threads of the sordid Abramoff saga in-depth is the doc's eventual undoing.... exhaustive and exhausting..." |

 "...well-intentioned... Over the past 30 years, 100,000 people have been shot and 15,000 murdered... more than even the long-running Northern Ireland conflict." |
