Critic Reviews
-
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
Korostyshevsky doesn't waste a lot of time getting from run-jump-shoot to duck-roll-cover and back again; the artillery decibel level isn't matched by any notable level of filmmaking craft or excitement.
-
Andy Webster, New York Times
For the cast, shooting the movie (in Ukraine) may have been a working vacation, but for viewers, watching it is an excruciating sentence of hard labor.
-
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
A talented cast is wasted in this sub-par, umpteenth variation on The Dirty Dozen.
-
Jeffrey M. Anderson, Common Sense Media
Soldiers of Fortune has a good cast, and most of them try their best, but you have to wonder why any of them actually signed on for this lopsided movie.

David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
Soldiers of Fortune is...hardly the fun throwback to the action films of the 1980s that one might've hoped for...
