DUELING CRITICS

"An efficient, fast-moving thrill machine...[it] even leavens its head-banging with a trace of social commentary...[The finale] leaves us exhilarated and uplifted. If The Rock runs for reelection in a sequel, he'll have my vote"

- Colin Covert

"[A] dead boring rehash of the most worn-out, overworked, been-there-done-that movie genre since boy-meets-girl: The Righteous Avenger...An hour's worth of dead bodies, broken limbs and smashed glass"

- Margaret A. McGurk
