3/4
""[The director's cut] is empirically better...""  Film Freak Central  Bill Chambers

2.5/5
"The ho-hum thrills and coincidental mystery of these Games will likely leave you shrugging with indifference on the way out the door."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

C-
"The film's only purpose seems to be to come up with as many ludicrous plot twists as possible and see if anyone in the audience can guess how it will work itself out."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

F
"A ludicrously convoluted, laughably hard-boiled heist movie that inspires incredulity rather than affection."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

2/4
"seems always to be verging on the edge of camp, as if it were nudged just a little bit to the left it would be an all-out comedy rather than a thriller"  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

"Continuously push the film's credibility factor to the point that those not enjoying the stupid fun will get 'eye-aches' from too much rolling occurring in that ocular region of their bodies."  Screen It!  Jim Judy

5/10
"Dramatically killed with an ending so ridiculous that it practically washes away the entire entertainment value of its previous ninety minutes."  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

"Frankeheimer shows he can still make a pretty decent action flick."  Planet Sick-Boy  Jon Popick

8/10
"Frankenheimer directs with brisk efficiency."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

2/4
"Affleck plays up the jokiness of the script, and while that famously light approach has worked elsewhere, it isn't quite what's needed in this type of action thriller."  Movie Poop Shoot  Michael Dequina

2/5
"Os personagens de Jogo Duro se dividem em dois tipos: os unidimensionais e os incoerentes."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

F
"This represents the worst the Hollywood system has to offer."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten
