'A stylishly evocative pulp thriller treatment... a career best for Charles Berling' - Jonathan Romney, LFF 'Fascinating…offers a pleasing brain-stretching buzz similar to ‘L.A. Confidential’... blackly comic...' - Leslie Felperin, VARIETY 'This highly credible suppositional thriller... lively, often darkly comic period piece... subtly staged, knowingly played and utterly engrossing' - David Parkinson, EMPIRE 'Solid performances from the cast…A 60’s political thriller with shades of Melville' - Dan Stewart, LITTLE WHITE LIES 'A murky thriller; claustrophobic, compelling and brimming with questions... Berling impresses as the lead...' - Tom Dawson, TOTAL FILM 'Berling is magnetic… a timely film …Entertaining...' - Jonathan Romney, SIGHT AND SOUND
