Reviews

Philadelphia Inquirer - Steven Rea
Simplistic and jingoistic. But it's also explosively fun.
70
Wall Street Journal - Joe Morgenstern
A Hollywood production that appeals to our patriotism while respecting our intelligence.
70
The New York Times - Stephen Holden
As intense an immersion in military ambience as a Hollywood movie could hope to provide in just over 90 minutes.
63
Miami Herald - Charles Savage
The conflict (in Afghanistan) makes this updated Rambo-esque thriller seem at once dated and yet relevant in ways its creators could not have envisioned.
63
New York Post - Lou Lumenick
A slickly entertaining war movie that's sometimes striking, sometimes silly -- but never, ever boring.
