RTEmpire MagazineFeb 19, 2010

One of the best traditional thrillers to come down the pike in quite some time.

RTChicago ReaderFeb 19, 2010

[Polanski's] usual surrealism is almost completely absent.

A thriller without much surprise, suspense or excitement.

There are so many good things in "Frantic" that one feels irritated the movie as a whole isn't better than it is.
