Sometimes Wonderland does make you wonder why you're wasting your time with these losers. But there's also a lot here that stays with you.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten
The main interest here is the acting, which is, by turns, entertaining or just entertainingly bad, with lots of grungy seriousness and Method-trained twitching, but also some moments of real gusto.
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

A film whose effects are as hard to wash away as blood.
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
Rotten
Overblown, overheated, overdirected, overacted, overlong and over here, in the local bijoux.
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
