"A weirdly misshapen, fitfully intriguing depiction of one man's wayward quest for justice, plainly compromised in ways that only a director's cut could properly illuminate."

Variety
Variety"While this was all no doubt galling for Schrader and Kosuth, you don't get the sense that there is a masterpiece lurking somewhere underneath."
—
The Times
The Times"Sometimes plays as just another high-concept vehicle for a comically overacting Mr. Cage. But Mr. Schrader's vision is strong enough to rage against the hackier calculations."
—
The New York Times
The New York Times"In recent years, Paul Schrader has reached the unenviable position where his career has become at least as horribly compelling as the movies that he makes."
—
The Guardian
The Guardian"Trimmed within an inch of its life to 94 minutes... left with nothing but the faintest echoes of whatever ideas might have inspired its making."
—
The Dissolve
The Dissolve"There are some great ideas here, and the film as a whole does make for cheerfully compulsive viewing."
