Critical receptionRichard Nilsen, film critic for The Arizona Republic, liked the film at times, but gave the film a mixed review. He wrote, "It does build up considerable suspense and tension; Renfroe has learned well from Hitchcock. And the final confrontation builds to a harrowing pitch. But that can't rescue the film from a silly, melodramatic finish."[1] Gabe Hassan (played by actor Khaled Abol Naga, who is a star in his native Egypt,[2] perhaps the most handsome would-be modern day terrorist ever[3]) gives an inspired performance as the terrorist / grad student who challenges the lunatic (Peter Krause) that has him captive and effectively glides over a range of emotions[4] References
