The thinness of the conception gives the actors so little room to maneuver that they turn in uniformly one-note performances.

Top critics, in their words
Rotten
90 punitive minutes of eardrum-dicing gunplay, screeching-metal smashups, and flaccid odd-couple sniping.
Jessica Winter, Village Voice
Rotten
This has the feel of something that was written by committee and it's all been done before.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten
So pleased with its own spoofy conceit it stays in annoyingly self-amused, predictable mode.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Rotten
It's not so much the generally preposterous premise as it is its sloppy handling that completely unhinges the film.
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
