      It's entertaining with a crafty mixture of action, humor and drama.

      Seattle Post-Intelligencer

      After an excellent setup, the movie becomes bogged down in chase scene after chase scene on its way to its inevitable ending.

      Variety

      Strikes a deft balance of chase-movie suspense and wisecracking humor, with a few slam-bang action setpieces that would shame the makers of more allegedly grown-up genre fare.

      Chicago Sun-Times

      I think Dwayne Johnson has a likable screen presence and is a good choice for an innocuous family entertainment like this.

      Chicago Tribune

      The action beats are so relentless, no sooner does one chase end than another begins.

      L.A. Weekly

      A calculated bid to turn the Rock into a more family-friendly commodity. That calculation may be transparent, but it pays off: Cracking one-liners and alternating between world-weariness and growing affection for his charges, Johnson is wonderful -- much better than his material.

      While "Escape" was superior in story, "Race" does commit to an impressive scope. What it is, really, is a big-studio popcorn flick that just happens to be made for tweens.

      Philadelphia Inquirer

      Curiously, despite Johnson's imposing physique, it's the kids who do most of the smashing and grabbing, right up until the climax, when it's all-hands-on-neck.
