Kills time between car chases and martial-arts bouts with random scuba-diving footage apparently culled from producer-co-writer Luc Besson's The Big Blue.
Justine Elias, Village Voice

The chases and explosions get a little (well, more than a little) ludicrous, but the cool premise is still very cool.
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Fresh
Immensely exciting and funny -- and it even has a Proust joke.
John Patterson, L.A. Weekly

It's high rent Steven Segal -- fights, explosions, and more fights, but with a flair.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
