A routine, vacuous actioner that tries to mix thrills with humor.

Emanuel Levy, Variety
Rotten

[A] witless action movie.

Caryn James, New York Times
Rotten

Gunmen, at the very least, does moviegoers the favor of instantly revealing how stupid and cheesy it is, thus sparing us the elevated expectations of fun.

David Mills, Washington Post
Rotten

Gunmen is a movie without plan, inspiration or originality - and to that list I would add coherence, except that I am not sure this movie would place much value on a plot that hangs together.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh

Sarafian is an unpretentious, easy-to-please director, with an eye for quirky character detail and a dab hand at the macho stuff.
