Frank Whaley and Philip Seymour Hoffman play minor characters so annoying they might as well wear T-shirts reading 'Eat My Brain.'

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Where Mann and Demme steered the hokum away from dull genre generalities, Ratner's point-and-film literalness churns out a thriller by rote, shorn of the psychological dogfighting that distinguished the first two films.
Wonderful performances and some really chilling moments.
The beats are the same, but the eerie vibe has been lost in translation.
It's highly entertaining, fast-paced and ultimately without deeper meaning, just like most other Hollywood blockbusters these days.
