New York Observer

Manipulative sentimentality, contrived plot and phony climax.

EmanuelLevy.Com

Social messages, simplistic action, and teary melodrama are manipulatively but unsuccessfully mixed in this picture, which tries to provide a "hard" look at an honest working-class man (Washington) who loses control while trying to save his child's life

Common Sense Media

Thought-provoking. Too intense for young teens.

Minneapolis Star Tribune

A polemic in search of a plot.

The movie comes dangerously close to saying that the solution to a personal grievance is, well, terrorism, when you get right down to it.

Entertainment Weekly

Cassavetes thinks he's making Dog Day Afternoon with a cause, but all he's done is to reduce everything he touches to a shrill, didactic cartoon.

Cinema Crazed

A hokey and often silly commentary about the medical industry, and corruption within the establishment.

Arizona Republic

A sappy, melodramatic Denzel Washington vehicle that ensnares you in the standard hostage-movie scenario and doesn't let go until the director runs the whole playbook.

New York Magazine/Vulture

It pulls out more stops than that old silent serial The Perils of Pauline. Unfortunately, it's a talkie.

Star-Democrat (Easton, MD)

Instead of presenting the story and allowing us to draw our own conclusions, Cassavetes blatantly tells us what we should think.

Groucho Reviews

Strands good actors in mushy, movie-of-the-week material. [Blu-ray]

L.A. Weekly

A coercive script by James Kearns, and some middling direction by Nick Cassavetes, can't rob the movie of an undeniable, headlong crowd-pleasing power as it tackles an issue that touches us all.
