"The script from rookie writer Jimmy Ellis is full of cartoonish characters, underdeveloped characters and absurd twists and turns. The idea isn't bad, it's just that the execution is a bit too much of a mish-mash of tropes to work on its own merits." - Charles Triano, Los Angeles Times
"Clint Eastwood has crafted a real masculine throwback to 80s military movies. Jared Leto chews up the scenery, as usual, as the embodiment of the Cold War red menace." - Allen Poole, AV Club
"While the platoon of heroes are essentially cardboard cutouts, the story is fun and full of some surprisingly bloody action and some over-the-top villains." - Geoff Bray, Slant Magazine

Rated R for graphic war violence and some strong language.
