It’s no Brokeback Mountain
Christopher Pucknell

idk it's alright, it's got trains in it which is pretty cool
The Virginian-Pilot
Mal Vincent
One wishes Quaid could loosen up enough to smile at least once.
Atlantic City Weekly
Lori Hoffman
A superb, underrated drama
Moviehole
Caffeinated Clint
High-class thriller, with a superb turn by Quaid
Fantastica Daily
Chuck O'Leary
A well-done suspense-thriller...Has modest aspirations, but meets them admirably.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rob Thomas
The striking American West setting enlivens this efficient, rote thriller.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Time and again the movie fascinates us with digressions, only to jerk back to the helpless main story line.
USA Today
Mike Clark
Quaid is a one-note sadsack here and no natural action hero.
