The story ... is just what fills in the gaps between slow-motion fireballs, Matrix-style frozen mayhem, and Halle Berry's notoriously undraped breasts.
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice
Rotten
The sleazy script by Skip Woods ... slimes the actors.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Rotten
An action opera designed to elicit Beavis and Butt-head-level appreciation.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post

Nobody really cares about the plot, least of all the filmmakers.
