Rotten
The film contains a remarkable level of violence, yet never establishes a tone that would make it seem funny or truly shocking; the jokes flounder in an air of half-hearted spite.

It's funny, clever and pacy to a fault, and the script more than satisfies its quota of decent zings.
David Jenkins, Time Out
Rotten
It never reconciles the meticulous intelligence needed to build the weaponry and the monstrous stupidity needed to use it.
Richard Brody, New Yorker
Rotten
Probably has the approximate cultural staying power of its title.
Meghan Keane, New York Observer

The dark, biting comedy often strays into territory that can be categorized as politically incorrect, but the result is funny, engaging, and at times a little disconcerting.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
