5/10
"This is a forgettable picture, with the sad fact that with a little more effort and a veteran’s hand, this film could’ve easily been a more compelling distraction."  Modamag.com  Brian Orndorf

"Slow in a strange way -- without energy, without imagination, without urgency."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

.5/4
"Horrendously amateurish filmmaking that is plainly dull and visually ugly when it isn't incomprehensible."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

D-
"Even by dumb action-movie standards, Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever is a dumb action movie."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

1.5/4
"Kaosayananda’s approach to this thunderous and over-indulgent stylish stinker is quite simplistic: load up on excessive explosions that’s meant to give a personality to a straining and exceedingly moronic martial arts motion picture."  TheWorldJournal.com  Frank Ochieng

D-
"A shambles of a movie--visually unattractive, unbearably loud and utterly silly...its hilarity is completely unintentional."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

2/4
"This grim, joyless motion picture is anything but fun. It's a chore to sit through, with all the blazing, noisy pyrotechnics proving unable to lighten the mood."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

2/5
"Spy-vs.-spy action flick with Antonio Banderas and Lucy Liu never comes together."  Netflix  James Rocchi

4/10
"By the time the show ended I was laughing pretty hard just thinking about how the movie made no sense while it was trying to be so serious."  Window to the Movies  Jeffrey Chen

1/10
"The film is bad on just about every level."  Screen It!  Jim Judy

3/10
"Gives new meaning to the word incoherent and provides as much excitement as my big ass."  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

3/10
"You'll have to be a cryptologist to figure out who's working for whom, and you'll have to boast the patience of Job to care."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

3/10
"One of the worst action films of the year."  Planet Sick-Boy  Jon Popick

2/5
"This movie is bad enough to make you want to go ballistic on Hollywood."  3BlackChicks Review  Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel

0/5
"If only Maxwell Smart had been here to foil KAOS yet again - avoid at all costs"  Cinerina  Karina Montgomery

1.5/4
"At every opportunity to do something clever, the film goes right over the edge and kills every sense of believability... all you have left is a no-surprise series of explosions and violence while Banderas looks like he's not trying to laugh at how bad it"  MovieCrypt.com  Kevin A. Ranson

1.5/4
"For all the sundered families, bereaved mothers and mourning spouses, there's not a shred of genuine feeling in the entire film."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

1/4
"The title - insipid as it is - is more interesting than anything that actually appears on screen."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

2/5
"More video game than movie, though video games have more interesting characters."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

F
"You'll have more fun setting fire to yourself in the parking lot. You'll be more entertained getting hit by a bus."  Flipside Movie Emporium  Rob Vaux

D
"One of the worst films of 2002."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

C
"The story would qualify as your basic spy opera... if there was any feeling to it, but the film has no more engagement than a big-screen video game"  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker

1/5
"Pay good money to see Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever and you have nobody but yourself to blame."  Filmcritic.com  Sean O'Connell

1/10
"It's dreadful!"  www.susangranger.com  Susan Granger

0/4
"It hopes to obscure its awfulness with its volume and, failing that, it hopes to dress up its stupidity with backlit shots of a woman communing with a captive manatee."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
