Reviews:
"There are umpteen reasons to see this edge-of-seat thriller that never stops in its revelations and twists as its complex inner layers reveal themselves" - Urbancinefile.com.au
"En route to its kitchen-sink climax, "Man" manages to both amuse and provoke, to cleave to convention and promote ideas" -
"A movie that doesn't realize that it should have been a comedy" - New York Times
