This is high-carb filmmaking at its finest. When it's all over, you'll have a knot in your stomach.

An excellent job of retaining key elements of the original plot but have created a whole new set of characters that gives the film an entirely contemporary feel.

Entertainment Weekly
Refreshingly, it's actually about action, albeit arbitrary action, and how it defines us and keeps us alive.
75
Effective action, solid suspense, excellent Ribisi, plus enough clichés to equal the grains of Gobi sand that fill the screen.

Dallas Observer
This half-hearted, half-witted remake of Robert Aldrich's compelling 1965 tale of survival, ingenuity, and teamwork generates no heat.
