"Delightful, and delicious, and probably for most mass audiences, de-irritating. As Cole might have said, however...there's no accounting for taste."

"Undercuts its own dramatic concerns by alternating heavy-handed moralism with the style of contemporary action franchises, dulling and smoothing out the horrifying edges of murder."
