Racist, stupid and boasting cheesy effects that wouldn't pass muster on basic cable.
Lou Lumenick, New York Post

Agent Banning is the latest in a long line of heroes whose every bullet kills someone while the bad guys constantly spray him with hundreds of bullets from machine guns, none of which seem to hit the target.
Andy Klein, TheWrap

Butler doesn't even have his own catchphrase. He just poaches two of Schwarzenegger's, bellowing both "Get to the chopper!" and "I'll be back!"
Amy Nicholson, MTV
Rotten
director Babak Najafi, who not surprisingly staged something called Easy Money II, botches the action sequences so crudely, consistently and cynically that he makes Michael Bay look like Kurosawa.
