What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople largely hate this thriller. Gal Gadot, playing a lawyer forced to run a gauntlet to save her son, gets slammed for a performance many find flat and unconvincing. The story itself is widely panned as absurdly thin and deeply unoriginal, with a frantic pace that doesn't build suspense, just frustration. While a few defenders point to some slick visuals, the overall take is that the premise runs out of steam almost immediately.
