The advanced weaponry and nifty scopes notwithstanding, most of the gunplay is pretty standard-issue, with most of the victims being anonymous targets present just to be picked off.
Todd McCarthy, Variety
Rotten
This is one of those movies where good guys don't miss, and bad guys can't shoot to save their lives.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
