Apollo GuideBrian WebsterIt's got all the attributes of a guilty pleasure - excitement, some undeniably enjoyable scenes and the absence of what it needs to be more memorable and more substantial. |
eFilmCritic.comPeter SobczynskiOne of the most ruthlessly efficient and sheerly entertaining hardcore action films to come along in a long time. |
