Mostly this is an amalgam of ideas, images and whole scenes lifted from other movies.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Rotten
Mr. Lundgren, who glowers his way all too convincingly through the role of a rabid bully, may well be the only man in the universe who can make Mr. Van Damme look like an actor.
Janet Maslin, New York Times
Rotten
Though the idea is dumb enough to be fun, director Roland Emmerich does the Terminator thing without much style, and the two stars bash into each other but never connect.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Rotten
I suppose there is a market for this sort of thing among bubblebrained adolescents of all ages, but it takes a good chase scene indeed to rouse me from the lethargy induced by dozens and dozens of essentially similar sequences.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
