L.A. Weekly
Flaws, double standards, strange detours and all, this is still the most entertaining WWE release to date. - 42
The A.V. Club
The film keeps adding layers of superfluous nonsense to its plot until all that's left is glowering ultra-violence and a whole lot of missed opportunities. - 38
ReelViews
There are stretches when it becomes tedious and insufferably self important. There's even a late scene in which the movie turns preachy. - 33
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
A sloppy, indifferent action movie with a sadistic edge and a sour hypocrisy. - 30
Variety
Picture aims for nonstop thrill ride, but for all its brainless brawn, it has plenty of stops and few real thrills. - 30
Washington Post
It's hard to imagine an audience that won't break up in laughter at this bewildering mixed message: Enjoy this movie, but you really shouldn't be watching it. - 25
Chicago Tribune
A real stinker. It doesn't have the courage of its own bad taste, or that of its villain. - 25
USA Today
This is the worst kind of movie, one that insults its audience by purporting to condemn violence while simultaneously reveling in it.
