| Planet Sick-BoyJon PopickBartkowiak's latest interchangeable pieces of wood (with range nearly as impressive) are Jet Li and DMX. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonYes, kids, it's two senselessly ultraviolent genres that are even more senselessly ultraviolent together! |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfWhile it aspires to be cinematic junk food, the picture is relentlessly moronic, eschewing B-movie thrills to wallow in Z-movie production achievements. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaWhen the film features a steel cage brawl between Li and a gaggle of Ultimate Fighting Champions, an ATV chase with DMX, and a kick-ass girlfight between Kelly Hu and Gabrielle Union, enduring the dreck is a relatively small price to pay. |

| Journal News (Westchester, NY)Marshall FineFeels like a commodity, and an undistinguished one at that. |
| Dallas Morning NewsChris VognarIt throws in enough calculated accouterments to honestly earn the label of 'product.' |
| Radio Free EntertainmentAndrew ManningThe wired stuntwork treads a fine line between dramatic embellishment and obvious movie magic, while Mark Dacascos turns in a formidable villain in this decent action adventure. |
