It is moronic beyond comprehension, an exercise in desperation during which even Sylvester Stallone, a repository of self-confidence, seems to be disheartened.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

As irksome as it is, the concept is actually better for Stallone than the premises of his earlier awful romps.
Rita Kempley, Washington Post
Rotten
Most of the blame for this unimaginative effort can be attributed to the script, but Spottiswoode's flat direction doesn't help.
