Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Unlike Rollerball or Death Race 2000, it serves up the carnage with Biblical solemnity.
– Owen Gleiberman,
Entertainment Weekly,
7 Sep 2011
rotten:
Plot development is slim. Much of running time is given over to the game itself, which seems to have no rules except that the winning team places the skull of a dog atop a pointed stick.
– Variety Staff,
Variety,
6 Jul 2010
fresh:
An unusually successful film of its kind, a good, lean variation on the post-apocalypse adventure-thriller that looks into the future to see the Dark Ages of the past.
– Vincent Canby,
New York Times,
30 Aug 2004
rotten:
The Blood of Heroes is a multimillion-dollar movie with about as much plot and depth as your average arcade game, but it's never quite as involving.
– Richard Harrington,
Washington Post,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
There's little to look at and nothing worth hearing. Even the game itself is a drag.
