Cast

Reception

The website veronicasuperguide.nl gave the film a rating of 2 out of 5 stars, writing, "The twisty plot with more coincidences than logic does not do any justice to the dramatic core of the film, namely the relationship of the two jaded lovers. This very thing could have still made this routine thriller interesting, but Gilroy barely pays attention to it." [2]
