	Author	Review
United States	Emanuel Levy Variety	"A tautly focused, well-executed drama that represents [the director's] most coherent and satisfying work since 1993's 'Falling Down'."	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"Beneath the rough verite exterior beats the same slick, corny heart that has pumped blood (and money) through Mr. Schumacher's 'Batman' and John Grisham pictures"	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Preston The Guardian	"[Farrell has something] which shouts out 'star'. A magnetic presence, you instinctively follow him across a crowded screen."	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Schumacher and the actors prevail by fixing their sights on what happens to men on that last stop before the game of war becomes a grim reality."	POS
United Kingdom	Adam Smith Empire	"Demonstrating again that Schumacher firing on all cylinders is one of Hollywood's most versatile craftsmen, this is a classy little film (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Nick Bradshaw Time Out	"Schumacher uses a gritty handheld style (....) and gets a testy lead performance from Farrell as the charismatic rebel. Involving but inconsequential."	NEU
