	Author	Review
United States	Joe Leydon Variety	"There’s something perversely fascinating about helmer John Hyams’ freewheeling yet deliberately paced mashup of noirish mystery, splatter-movie intensity, first-person-shooter vidgame and 'Apocalypse Now'-style surrealism"	POS
United States	Clark Collis Entertainment Weekly	"So gruelingly violent you half wonder if director John Hyams' goal is to make the audience get up and leave the theater rather than be party to the brutality"	NEG
United States	Tom Breihan AV Club	"It’s a great, weird movie. It might be better than 'Regeneration'. It might, in fact, be the best straight-to-DVD action movie ever made"	POS
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Superbly choreographed and filmed action sequences enliven this ultra-violent B-movie"	NEG
United States	Andy Webster The New York Times	"This bloody wallow in sweat, guns and fisticuffs - for those who swing that way - delivers"	POS
