Reception
Jonathan Holland of Variety gave the movie a positive review saying that is "strongly scripted and well-played treat convincingly employs thriller elements to make its heavyweight agenda palatable."[2] In his review for The New York Times, Stephen Holden wrote that "is a timely if overly schematic meditation on the gloomier implications of the notion that indeed we're all connected."[1]
For Screen International, Sheila Johnston wrote that "while the movie has faults, the bulk of it is forceful and emotionally involving".[3]
