Top Critics' Reviews

Rotten: An exceedingly earnest, high-minded hostage drama in which any visceral tension is secondary to topical debates by a captor and his prisoner. – Stephen Holden, New York Times, Jul 5, 2012

Fresh: The dolefully talented actor Martin Donovan wrote, directed, and stars in a pressure-cooker two-hander. – Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly, Jul 4, 2012

Fresh: On one level, it's a dark, funny tragedy, but it's also Donovan's thesis on his own craft. – Chris Packham, Village Voice, Jul 3, 2012

Fresh: It's no surprise that Donovan's directorial debut finds him firmly rejecting the mainstream in favor of a deliberately suffocating challenge. – Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News, Jul 5, 2012
