Lisa Marie Bowman | 70 | - It's good but it should have been great. (full review) |
Bryan Lienesch | 70 | - What starts out as a brick and mortar true crime story devolves into some attempt at an altered realty mental thriller and that's where it will lose people. |

Le Anne of Tinsel And Tine | 52 | - James Franco is believable as a charming psychopath, because frankly, Franco is believable as a charming psychopath. But on the whole, as far as psychological dramas where head games are being played between two men -I prefer Ex Machina. (full review) |
