2 stars (Good Try) Hyams' script cleverly deconstructs and mocks the entire vocabulary of the conspiracy theory in this knowingly absurd thriller, but his devotion to the trappings of the 70s conspiracy film undermines it with a plodding, disengaged investigation subplot. ~Anon

4 stars (Very Good) One of the great plot ideas. Although the screenplay doesn't do it justice as an actioner it is well worth the time. ~Tubbs
