The film takes its sweet time to get to where we sense it’s going, and then quickly runs out of steam when it does.

The rapid transformation of the script, is not entirely convincing. While such changes break the monotony of a conventional narrative, in this context they feel somewhat implausible. [Full review in Spanish]

It's quite suspenseful, but boy is it overlong.

Despite strong performances, the atmospheric film is more effective at recalling genre influences than yielding much tension or intrigue of its own. But at least the exotic backdrop is visually appealing.

It's entertaining...Matt Dillon is always great to watch ...but such a pity of a script. Pure cliche. How long can writers keep on making Hitchcock films, I wonder.
