Rotten
The wisecracks and the swaggering are as unrelieved as the film's almost comically ecstatic gunplay. Someone must have figured audiences like things this way.
Janet Maslin, New York Times

Goldberg's best work since The Color Purple.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Bloody, boring and pandering, is as poisonous as the drug trade it pretends to defame.
Rita Kempley, Washington Post

Tom Holland directed from a script and story credited to three individuals, anyone could have knocked this one out during coffee break.
