DUELING CRITICS

"AVP is no masterpiece. But neither is it a disaster. Writer/director Paul W.S. Anderson has given us an action movie, pure and simple. No deep ideas. No scintillating characters...But for 90 minutes it held my interest on a purely visceral level"

- Robert W. Butler

"The unsatisfying AVP isn't exciting, scary or even particularly gory -- and the yawns far exceed the modest body count. Fans unlucky enough to pay to see this dog...are sure to agree with the unintentionally candid original ad slogan: Whoever wins...we lose "

- Lou Lumenick
