• what makes Gibson so interesting in his masochistic fantasy pictures is that you can't quite ever get a bead on where his characters are coming from

  by Tony Dayoub [Cinema Viewfinder ]

• this film however doesn't live or die on the quality of Gibson's performance, it's almost as if the film knows he's gonna bring a good performance regardless

  by J.C. De Leon [Screen Invasion ]

• the plot with the money is a bit twisted and a bit hard-to-follow, but then, that's an element that marks this kind of scuzzy crime movie

  by Witney Seibold [Crave Online ]

• the film's look doesn't fare much better than its story, either

  by Daniel Carlson [Pajiba ]

• the film's jail is patterned after El Pueblito

  by John Horn [Los Angeles Times ]

• slick design, tongue in cheek humour and penchant for grizzly violence

  by Matthew Pejkovic [Matt's Movie Reviews ]

• refreshingly, 100% Mel

  Review rate : B+ by Drew Taylor [Indie Wire ]

• it's a terrific action flick, and the kind that needs to be supported by those who appreciate the genre

  by Chris Bumbray [JoBlo's Movie Emporium ]

• gibson's sensibility remains one that chuckles at carnage and sees torture as the most effective way to ratchet up audience sympathies

  by Peter Debruge [Variety ]

• complicated settings, are pulled off with vigor and a solid feel for what counts visually

  by Todd McCarthy [Hollywood Reporter ]

• a sort of shoot 'em up Tarantino style satire by way of Machete

  by Prairie Miller [News Blaze ]
