      The Observer (UK)

      Engagingly wry thriller starring Charles Bronson as a Texas adventurer hired by Jill Ireland to spring her innocent husband (Robert Duvall) from a Mexican jail. [08 Oct 2000, p.10]

      Chicago Sun-Times

      Bronson is a first-rate action star with a catlike grace and a nice air of menace. But here, trying to land a helicopter after only a few lessons on how to fly it, or staging a phony rape scene to distract prison guards, Bronson is given a sort of incompetency he doesn't wear well. We believe him more easily when he's strong, silent and infallible.

      TV Guide Magazine

      Unmotivated, often plodding, and singularly without humor, this film could have been terrific.

      Director Tom Gries and the entire cast perform as though they all had better things to do.
