[A] dippy hodgepodge of hitman action, illogical romance and geopolitical commentary.
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times

Why is Slater in this? Why are Sutherland and Spall? Why am I even watching it?
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
Rotten
Corny action scenes and borderline-hilarious direction by Isaac Florentine mark the film as an obvious straight-to-video item that somehow took a wrong turn into a movie theater.
Kyle Smith, New York Post
Rotten
Mr. Slater valiantly tries to appear turned on by his leading lady's shimmying midsection, but he might as well be watching a performing dog for all the heat mustered between them.
