"Falcon Rising" is filled with so many action-flick cliches it could serve as a text on how not to do things.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
Y. T. Parazi's unmysterious screenplay drops cheesily clever one-liners on the way to a finish that suggests a bid for sequels, though you're more likely to find those on late-night cable than in theaters.
Nicolas Rapold, New York Times
Fresh
It's a straightforward vengeance tale with no other ambition than to entertain. That said, it has something.
Soren Anderson, Seattle Times
Rotten
Beyond isolated moments of dickish charm - and his climactic four-way fight involving a sword, a crucifix, and two steel pipes - Chapman just comes across like another pseudo-heroic American behaving badly abroad.
Simon Abrams, Village Voice
