Media Author Review
United States
ReelViews
"Likely won't please fans of the original TV series, but the movie hasn't been made for them"
Canada
The Globe and Mail
"Lots of buildings and cars explode, but there isn't a spark between any of the characters."
United States
Los Angeles Times
"Though the film's second half has some good action moments, it never fulfills the promise of its earliest scenes"
United States
LA Weekly

United States
Los Angeles Times
"Technically clever but emotionally bankrupt...it's an almost laughably opportunistic movie"
