 "...a lean and smart thriller that introduces us to one-two-three heroines and then one-two-three villains, and it's game on.... Katie Aselton is a bad-ass." |

 "Deliberately ambiguous... provides just enough answers while leaving us with more than enough questions. It's a film that demands discussion afterward." |

 "...there is nothing in this movie that glamorizes these three meatheads. Kudos to Bay and his screenwriters for making sure we're laughing at them, not with them." |
