"A genre movie with an agenda that's too packed. Inevitably, some of the many balls it's juggling get dropped -- (but it's) one of the most entertaining and original actioners in several years." | POS |

"Enormously entertaining" | POS |

"A brilliant exercise in popular but palpable surrealism" | POS |
