The film is a contrivance, as artificial as the video games Japanese teens play in a nightclub sequence, but it's an enjoyable one.
Matt Weitz, Dallas Morning News
Rotten
Reno does what he can in a thankless situation, the film ricochets from humor to violence and back again, and Ryoko Hirosue makes us wonder if she is always like that.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
Like being trapped inside a huge video game, where exciting, inane images keep popping past your head and the same illogical things keep happening over and over again.
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune

One scarcely needs the subtitles to enjoy this colorful action farce.
