It becomes a quite interesting tale of co-dependency, and the illusions of control people can construct in their lives.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 8, 2002
A tough thriller to find enjoyable or completely satisfying no matter how well crafted the story is by writer-director Jon Reiss ...

Jon Reiss's script has trouble finding its footing, and the plot progresses in awkward jerks.

One of those potentially interesting movies that takes its sweet time getting to the point -- by which time many audience members will likely have bailed out or dozed off.
Full Review | Jan 1, 2000
A weakly performed rehash of master-slave role-reversal tales like The Servant.
Full Review | Jan 1, 2000
Shot in a house in an 18-day shoot, it still backs the wallop of a movie with much bigger stars and budget.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 1, 2000
Unlike its Hollywood kin ... this scene from the class gurgle has the courage of its convictions -- which are misanthropic enough to make Neil LaBute wince.
| Jan 1, 2000
Paul Hipp ... garners no sympathy from the viewer as he allows, without reason, everyone to walk over his emotions and needs.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 1, 2000
The execution of [Reiss's] nightmare ultimately moves too slowly to make this late-blooming freak-out worth waiting for.
| Jan 1, 2000
It's a bitter pill to swallow, featuring a quartet of unsympathetic characters and an unrelenting air of misanthropy.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 1, 2000
Illogical, unentertaining, and downright unappetizing, this is a miserable attempt at black comedy that succeeds in neither making us hate, love, nor even feel sorry for its mischief makers.
| Original Score: 3/10 | Jan 1, 2000
The characters are so dislikable that not much seems to be at stake.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000
Taking a branch off the (early) Neil LaBute tree of filmmaking, Jon Reis has planted a fashionably disturbing offshoot, fertilized with heavy doses of "Rod-Serlingesque" irony
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 1, 2000
The story is so oddly executed that it frequently seems weird for weirdness' sake.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Jan 1, 2000
