- 67Austin ChronicleKimberley JonesAustin ChronicleKimberley JonesThe senseless violence of a Jean-Claude Van Dammer, no point to that, but this, this has purpose. This is an ass-kicking a girl can get into. So why do I feel like crying mea culpa?
- 63Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonChicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonOne of those movies that starts like a house afire, catches you firmly in its narrative grip and then suddenly blows itself out, not really going out with a whimper but with a big, bad, ludicrous bang.
- 50Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanEntertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThere's only one place that a movie like this one can possibly be heading, and that's to a demagogic blowout of violent, femme-power payback. Enough gets there by way of far too many tedious detours.
- 38Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt's surprising to see a director like Michael Apted and an actress like Jennifer Lopez associated with such tacky material.
- 38USA TodayClaudia PuigUSA TodayClaudia PuigToo much. The hackneyed story about an affluent damsel in distress who decides to fight her bully of a husband is simply too overdone.
- 33Portland OregonianKim MorganPortland OregonianKim MorganTaking the film as a thriller, it's neither exciting nor scary, hampered by a middle that plays much too long.

- 25Miami HeraldConnie OgleMiami HeraldConnie OgleIt's a cannibalization of "Sleeping With the Enemy," a not-so-good Julia Roberts film, with a ridiculous female-empowerment subtext and a relentlessly stupid script that goes nowhere you can't predict before the opening credits roll.
- 20Rolling StonePeter TraversRolling StonePeter TraversSay the word, girl (Lopez), the next time you're offered one of these barrel scrapers: Enough!
