Reviews

Philadelphia Inquirer -
A likably energetic star vehicle for English sports god Vinnie Jones.

Chicago Sun-Times -
Guy Ritchie, who started out as such an innovator in "Lock, Stock, etc.," seems to have headed directly for reliable generic conventions as a producer. But they are reliable, and have become conventions for a reason: They work. Mean Machine is what it is, and very nicely, too.

Los Angeles Times -
Mean Machine may not have the resonance to linger in the memory affectionately as "The Longest Yard" does, but it plays well, with a fast pace and plenty of punch.

New York Daily News -
In Mean Machine, soccer is pretty much an excuse to watch a bunch of grown men smashing their heads together. Which, come to think of it, may be enough.

Miami Herald -
Disappointingly straightforward remake.
