Critic Reviews

  • Emanuel Levy, Variety

    Far less captivating than the videogame that inspired it.

  • Stephen Holden, New York Times

    A dreary, overstuffed hodgepodge of poorly edited martial arts sequences and often unintelligible dialogue.

  • Richard Harrington, Washington Post

  • David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews

  • Charles Cassady, Common Sense Media

    Campy video game-derived action-fest.

    It's so bad, that it's actually good. This movie is hilarious, over the top, stupid, and a lot of fun. I especially loved Raul Julia as the bad guy.

  • Jason O


    It's certainly no Mortal Kombat, but still not bad. But I love Van Damme movies, even when they're not one of his best.
