NEW YORK/LOS ANGELES/CHICAGO/TORONTO (7 Reviews)
Rachel Saltz, New York Times: GOOD (NOT GREAT) "...moody... Mr. Mortensen keeps you watching, even when the movie's storytelling underwhelms.... less about story than about texture and atmosphere."(See all of Rachel Saltz's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 261 words, 03/22/13
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: GOOD (NOT GREAT)(cg) "Viggo Mortensen does singlehandedly shape Ana Piterbarg's languid, rather formless story into a moderately engaging dramatic thriller."(See all of Elizabeth Weitzman's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 160 words, 03/22/13
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times: WEAK "...a frustratingly dissipated movie, one with few storytelling pleasures and an overabundance of forced mood.... scenes feel disconnected from one another..."(See all of Robert Abele's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 195 words, 03/22/13
Kyle Smith, New York Post: WEAK(cg) "...offers no insights on anything.... the slow pace, which apparently is meant to imbue the thin story with brooding significance, instead seems merely punitive."(See all of Kyle Smith's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 181 words, 03/22/13
Matt Zoller Seitz, Chicago Sun-Times: GOOD (NOT GREAT)(cg) "...pretty good... I wish that writer-director Ana Piterbarg's film were as terrific as Mortensen's acting.

Marsha McCreadie, Village Voice/LA Weekly: FAIR "Even Mortensen's movingly enigmatic performance can't help Ana Piterbarg decide whether she is making an existential tone poem or a brutish thriller."(See all of Marsha McCreadie's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 239 words, 03/20/13

Mark Jenkins, Washington Post: MODERATE(cg) "Mortensen can add only so much meaning to an underwritten character and a story whose gangster-movie developments establish a vague feeling of unease..."(See all of Mark Jenkins's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 408 words, 03/29/13
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer: GOOD (NOT GREAT)(cg) "...atmospheric... in the vein of, if not on the same plane as, Michelangelo Antonioni's 'The Passenger.'

Andrew Schenker, Slant: MODERATE(cg) "...handsome if uninvolving.... While its restraint is in many ways admirable, it proves to be the film's failing, as understatement gives way at last to unaffecting drama."(See all of Andrew Schenker's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 404 words, 03/16/13
