- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Weathers turns out to be a disappointingly weak lead whose low-key likability doesn't make up for his lack of anger and drive-crucial attributes for any action hero"
-
"The script (by Robert Reneau) is snappier than the movie deserves, and supplies a dose of wise-guy humor to director Craig R. Baxley's idiot version of James Bond Gets Down in Motown"
-
"Had the filmmakers not undermined the project with inane plot twists, unexplained motives, and absurd coincidences, this could have been a real winner."
-
"It's a generic action movie with more guns than brains, more car crashes than coherence and more opportunism than originality."
-
"Sitting through Action Jackson was like being dragged through a swamp of sick humor and nauseating violence. I needed a shower afterward"
