| Houston Community NewspapersGary BrownThere's one standout action scene, but the other parts perfunctorily connect the dots. |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsThe type of strictly formulaic buddy-action-comedy that should have slipped through the cracks and gone to straight-to-video hell. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittThe cinematic equivalent of Kraft macaroni and cheese: bland, familiar, tasty. |

| Baltimore SunMilton KentNeither (Gooding nor Ulrich) has the distincitve spark of an action hero, and their Butch and Sundance repartee falls so consistently flat that you end up feeling a little embarrassed for them. |
| Time OutWally HammondThe atmosphere is winning, with the odd felicity peppering the journey with gags and groans. |

| New York PostRod DreherMost of the action revolves around Ulrich's character, and the center cannot hold our interest. |
