Around the Web
Bridget Fonda was wrong for the role in the unsuccessful 1993 remake "Point of No Return," but Australian Peta Wilson is terrific in the new version, tough and bitter and innocent at the same time...Sexy, sharply written (and, yes, violent), it's an exciting addition to the USA lineup of original programming.
Gail Pennington on St. Louis Post-Dispatch It's dark, esoteric and morbid, offering up one dose of suffering after another. I couldn't stop watching.
Sergio Non on IGN The series may not be original, but it is swift, engrossing and escapist. Sometimes that's all you want.
