"It's always nice to see Keanu Reeves mow down bad guys and Mel Gibson knows how to direct a battle scene perhaps better than just about anybody. The end results of this particular film though are beautiful and bloody visuals with forgettable and busy story." - Mark Plainsview, ReelViews
"The scale and ambition are impressive, but a film cannot survive on those alone. It was hard to keep track of the events of the plot and equally as difficult to relate to any of the characters." - Brenton Smalls, Playboy
"It’s hard not to appreciate the ambition on display in a faux-historical epic of this scale, which provides enough action for an entire trilogy of films. Unfortunately, I’m not quite convinced in Camilla Belle’s ability in relationship to the importance of her role in the second half of the film." - Kate Yarbrough, The Guardian
