"Smart, satisfying action entertainment"

USA Today
"Serviceable, occasionally compelling but often formulaic." 
United States
ReelViews
"It's not great art, but, for B-movie fans and those looking for a mid-winter jolt of energy, it's good fun."
United States
AV Club
"Retains every hooky, marketable, and superficially attractive element from its source material while losing everything that made it special"
