Rotten
In the department of numbing ineptitude, the pacing runs a neck-and-neck race with the dialogue.

Rotten
[A] movie based on a video game that's unafraid to look absurd but lacks the self-conviction needed to come off as camp.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Rotten
Loud, banal, empty, frenzied, plasticized, flavorless, drab, violent in a bloodless way and sexy in a sexless way.
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
Rotten
So pandering and pebble-brained you'd guess it had been test-screened on barnyard animals.
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice
Rotten
There is more tension in Jolie's T-shirts than in the dramatic action.
