"Inexplicably, David Webb Peoples, the screenwriter of Blade Runner and Unforgiven, is responsible for this awful mess"  AboutFilm.com  Carlo Cavagna

"David Snyder's set design, David Tattersall's cinematography and the explosions are beautiful, but the movie lacks passion, characterization, and a sense of humor."  Philadelphia City Paper  Cynthia Fuchs

52/100

1/4
"It plays even worse than it sounds."  TheMovieReport.com  Michael Dequina

"There are no moral ambiguities, no maddeningly complex issues, and there's never really a question as to where the plot will lead."  Cold Fusion Video Reviews  Nathan Shumate

C+
"It resonates on more levels than just a simple action film."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten
