Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/4 --
What we have here is a tale of lust, deception, manipulation and murder. Quintessential De Palma, in other words.

Rating: 1/4 --
As much as [De Palma] beautifies this mess-the movie's so sleek, you'll worry that the cast is gonna slip off the damn screen-it's still a mess.

INDY Week
Filled with dumb plot twists, schemes and hammy performances from Rachel McAdams and Noomi Rapace, Passion is De Palma gleefully making a mess and daring the audience to keep watching.

Way Too Indie
Despite the low vs. high dialectic, Passion is saying nothing of substance about cultural relativism or commodification.

Cinema Scope
4 stars out of 4 -- Brian De Palma is one of the great seducers of the cinema, and he proves it with PASSION, a spellbinding thriller.
RogerEbert.com
There isn't a lot of passion in Brian De Palma's Passion but there is a love of kinkiness, flirtation, sensation, and the thrill of playing big business games and an odd intimacy that we don't always get in De Palma...

A throwaway by a gifted filmmaker who has run out of ideas.

Product Description:
An intense power struggle between an icy advertising executive and her timid assistant turns deadly in director Brian De Palma's stylish remake of Alain Corneau's LOVE CRIME (2010). A cultivated beauty with expensive tastes and a serious kinky streak, Christine (Rachel McAdams) holds a top office at one of the world's biggest international advertising agencies. She didn't get ahead by shrinking into the shadows, so when her coy but incredibly creative assistant Isabelle (Noomi Rapace) dreams up a wildly popular marketing campaign, Christine takes full credit for the idea. Simultaneously repulsed and intrigued by her boss' shameless candor over the incident, Isabelle ignites an all-out war by sleeping with Christine's lover. Later, when Christine turns up dead after humiliating her assistant in front of the entire company, the perceptive Inspector Bach (Rainer Bock) struggles to sort through the clues as Isabelle grows increasingly unstable and her story seems to change with each new interview.
