Critic Reviews
-
Peter L'Official, Village Voice
Explosions abound, along with expository dialogue and a ham-tastic triad of performances from Sam Jackson, Willem Dafoe, and Peter Strauss.
-
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
This is that rare B movie that's rooted in gut-level stirrings of power and retaliation.
-
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
So primitive, it must have been written in lizard blood on animal skin.
-
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
So devoid of craft, it looks as though it were filmed by robots.
-
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Its action scenes are too absurd and too computer-generated to produce any kind of rush. The dialogue, not just amateurish, fails even to approximate something resembling human interaction.
