Rotten
Large cast is uniformly fine with tongue-twisting, pulpy dialogue, though pic presents only brief flashes of what look to be fully realized characterizations jettisoned at some point during production or post.

A documentary on baseball's Texas Rangers and their last-place season would have been more interesting.
Christy Lemire, Associated Press

As dull as its title.
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

The end result may not be a full-blown disaster, but it comes close.
John Petrakis, Chicago Tribune

This is one bland and cheesy Tex-Mex burrito of a movie.
