"There's enough twists, turns and tantalising teases to make an initial exploratory dip..."

—

Stuff

"How predictably American, Allie Fox would probably think."

—

Hollywood Reporter

"Even [Justin Theroux's] absorbing performance can't make Mosquito Coast make sense."

—

Vanity Fair

"A surface-level, sepia-toned thriller about a family on the run, mostly to coax the vanity of its patriarch."

—

A.V. Club

"I can only speak for myself, but I don't have the patience for this anymore. At least Breaking Bad had the decency to make Walter White a tame family man before he went gonzo."
