De Matteo ... boasts enough intelligence, attitude and ferocity to ignite even the most mundane of moments.

An undeveloped story.

Can't quite deliver the goods, but it still provides a few highs along the way.

Highlighted by a gritty style and an excellent cast, it’s better than one might expect when you look at the list of movies starring Ice-T in a major role.
02/01/03
The heart of the film is the drop dead sexy Drea De Matteo who, as the mother and real head of the family, commands every scene.
12/16/02
It's hard to believe that something so short could be so flabby.
12/13/02
Spare yet audacious...
12/07/02
The main characters are simply named The Husband, The Wife and The Kidnapper, emphasizing the disappointingly generic nature of the entire effort.
12/01/02
Ferrara's best film in years.
11/22/02
Once Ice-T sticks his mug in the window of the couple's BMW and begins haranguing the wife in bad stage dialogue, all credibility flies out the window.
11/21/02
Top CriticAssured, glossy and shot through with brittle desperation.

Imagine O. Henry's The Gift of the Magi relocated to the scuzzy underbelly of NYC's drug scene. Merry friggin' Christmas!
11/21/02
Ferrara's strongest and most touching movie of recent years.
11/19/02
Ferrara directs the entire film with the kind of detachment that makes any given frame look like a family's custom-made Christmas card.
