Film Threat -
The biggest strength of Cradle 2 the Grave is that it doesnt take itself too seriously.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) -
When you pay good money to see an action movie, it's understood that you want it to be action-packed. You do not want it to be action-enhanced or action-flavoured or featuring accents of action.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer -
Even throwing in a spunky fight between female sidekicks (Gabrielle Union and Kelly Hu) isn't enough to float this film over clumsy dialogue and the feeling we've seen it before.

Chicago Sun-Times -
The film itself is on autopilot and overdrive at the same time: It does nothing original, but does it very rapidly.

San Francisco Chronicle -
Between the off-center comic riffs of Tom Arnold and the wildly improbable hair's-breadth escapes, the whole business dissolves into amiable action farce.
