United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"It's subtly funny in the way it toys with the cliches of the genre (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS

United Kingdom	Tom Hutchinson Radio Times	"What could have been a mediocre survival story is turned into an eminently watchable action adventure here thanks to the performances of Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin"	POS
