Review Quotes

As bad as the movie sometimes becomes, the battle scenes are generally well choreographed and the final conflict is about as well done as one can reasonably expect. In fact, had the editing been tighter, resulting in a more economical running time, this might have been an enjoyable motion picture. As it is, however, it is poorly paced and drags at times and there are too many instances in which the movie's worst and most derivative aspects are allowed to come to the fore. Still, if this isn't Boll's best effort to date, it's better than his usual output. If he can continue to improve, his name may no longer be synonymous with a punch line. — ReelViews
