Chicago Sun-Times

This is a B-movie through and through, but thanks in large part to a deep cast of familiar faces and reliable character actors, it's a solid crime thriller that respects the true-life blueprint of the story.

Rated: 3/4

Variety

This trashy trawl through a fictionalized version of the “West Mesa Murders" is the kind of dubiously moralizing exploitation exercise that makes Sound of Freedom look like a noble class act by comparison.

It's interesting, but you have to know going in that the basic case was never solved, and they stay true to that.

The culprit behind these murders has still never been found, which this screenplay mostly uses as fodder for a bit of psycho-thriller exploitation.

Cinemalogue

Turning a true-life serial killer case into a collection of cliches and contrivances, this derivative thriller never musters much suspense or sympathy for its characters — whether alive or dead.

Genuinely, even some of the great faces in this movie cannot do enough to save it. The story does not flow, the acting is extremely stiff from and there is glaring plot holes all over the place. The music used was particularly good and some the scenes were good and well shot, but the whole thing was not really well utilised and no real character building or story telling, a B-Movie thrill ride that struggles to thrill.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

This could have been a good movie (although sad as based on real events) but it wasn't. Mel Gibson disappeared half way thru the movie then reappearing at the end leaving his character and value to the plot lacking. The editing/script was choppy, the camera angles were just wierd at times (& not in a good way) and the casting left a lot to be desired except the lead detective. The FBI female agent's character was overshadowed by her plastic surgery and the lead prostitute was unconvincing in her dialogue & delivery. At no time was I pulled in with suspense. I laughed incredulously at times which is never a good sign when talking serial killers.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Horrible film. Terrible acting. Weird camera angles. They must have spent the whole budget on Mel Gibson and Fiddy’s wages. Turned it off half way through.
