Chicago Reader
It's a heady mix of the earnest, the grave, and the frivolous. Wizardly director Kevin Reynolds even manages to condense into a single shot, with a wisp of humor, several of the hero’s long years in a dungeon without making them any less grueling.

Baltimore Sun
Performances by Jim Caviezel and Richard Harris make this a great adventure.

Chicago Sun-Times
This is the kind of adventure picture the studios churned out in the Golden Age -- so traditional it almost feels new.

Charlotte Observer
It pays homage to the genre's most glorious days.

As a revenge thriller, the movie is serviceable, but it doesn't really deliver the delicious guilty pleasure of the better film versions.
