"Despite a few distracting plot inconsistencies, the film works once it is just Gerard Butler beating a bunch of Russians to a pulp. This type of film should appeal well to fans of the Scottish movie star as it fits right in with his resume." - Paul Onkean, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"I really wanted to like this one, and parts of it are a lot of fun, but the lack of villain development hurt this one. You can only watch Butler kill nameless soldiers so many times until it all starts to bleed together and lose its impact." - Clark Davis, JoBlo.com
"This film gives Gerard Butler the opportunity to indulge in some old school action shenanigans, but the story seems completely disposable." - Stephen Anderson, Entertainment Weekly
