With its stilted dialogue and hammy acting, the film has the look of an expensive production but the feel of a B movie, delivering the sort of undemanding monster mayhem Arnie's fans have come to expect.
Derek Adams, Time Out

It is so lean, so exciting and so imaginative that you can watch it every month or two, year in and year out, and never get tired of it.

Alternately grisly and dull.

It's a slick, high-energy action picture that takes a lot of its strength from its steamy locations in Mexico.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
