Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
A garish and poorly filmed chop-socky frolic that makes about as much sense as an Escher painting viewed through Vaseline-smudged Ray-Bans.

Perhaps such phenomenal slaughter is best left to the imagination.

rotten:
The problem is that the fight sequences -- the only reason anyone sees a movie like this in the first place -- are muddy, chaotic and boring. Even diehard fans of this genre would be well advised to skip this one.

rotten:
This saga, set in Berlin, is more committed to its bloodletting than to any of its characters.

rotten:
A movie that provides plenty of jolts but precious little pleasure.
