Reaction: Well, this one certainly didn't hit the studio's expectations. Marketing the film with drama as a sub-genre definitely appears to have hurt the film's prospects at the box office.
"While the film contains some nice touches (like the lions), it ultimately feels too familiar to a litany of other properties to stand out in the genre." - Perry Manson, CinemaBlend.com
"What the film lacks in originality it more than makes up for in convincing performances from its cast, a solid plot, and expert direction from Michael Bay." - Chris Mears, Slashfilm
"Dwayne Johnson is his usual charismatic self, and Michael Bay directs the action with a deft hand, but in a world with The Hunger Games and Running Man, AGOS: A Game of Survival just doesn't do enough to branch out." - Janet Donnelly, Empire Magazine
Rated R for strong violence, language and some sexuality.
