  3. Positive review
    Angie Errigo, Empire Magazine It(TM)s absolute nonsense, of course, but does quite nicely as knockabout Friday night fun. We can smell a sequel if Travolta can be bothered. Full review External link
  4. Positive review
    David Jenkins, Time Out It(TM)s not enough to allow the film to rise above its guilty-until-proven-innocent conception of justice. Reprehensible, then, but what fun! Full review External link
  5. Negative review
    Kate Muir, Times [UK] Travolta eventually becomes a parody of himself: with nudge-nudge references to the Royale cheeseburger, famously of Pulp Fiction. Full review External link
