Roger Ebert
Roger Ebert"Telegraphs its intentions too early and relies too much on a single actor, Johnny Depp, to achieve its emotional force."

Hollywood Reporter
Hollywood Reporter"Anyone with a passing knowledge of King's jam-packed oeuvre and its spotty movie translations will be fidgeting in their seats from the get-go."
