Los Angeles Times | Manohla DargisAdd Critic to Favorites

There's no defense for movies like these, but neither do they warrant apology; they're irresistibly watchable, like car wrecks.Read the full review

Washington Post | Desson ThomsonAdd Critic to Favorites

This movie pulls out so many bad-action-movie cliches, you wonder if this is a how-not-to primer.Read the full review
