Critic Reviews

  • Jami Bernard, New York Daily News

    Between explosions there is enough room left for only minimal character development.

  • Wesley Morris, Boston Globe

    Director Wych Kaosayananda -- or Kaos, to you -- is stupendously inept, unable even to properly light a combat sequence.

  • J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader

    Before seeing this film I couldn't understand why the producers had given it a subtitle; afterward I realized Ecks vs. Sever was probably the full script.

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    One of the worst movies of the year.
