Variety
Smrz brings considerable gusto if not much conceptual originality to the pileup of dire crises, keeping the pace brisk and seriocomic tone variable. - 50
Los Angeles Times
Until it devolves into testosterone-drenched, operatic silliness, the mix of bullets, blood and banter is dumb fun. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
Hawke delivers a workmanlike performance, but can't redeem the third act's macho baloney; sadly, Rutger Hauer (introduced in the opening and then wasted) doesn't come save him. - 38
Slant Magazine
Brian Smrz never contrasts the film’s violence with stillness, allowing the audience to enjoy a sense of foreboding escalation. - 38
Movie Nation
It’s a tolerable Hawke time-killer. - 25

Throughout the film, you can see Hawke trying to bring resonance and truth to a movie that is plotted like a “Crank” sequel and has dialogue that sounds like it was written by a teenage boy. Watching the actor fight against the deep flaws of the film he’s in is almost more interesting than the plot itself. At least it’s more entertaining.
