Time Out: Where the original had too many car chases and not enough plot or characterisation, this has too much plot, too many characters and not enough metal crunching, tyre squealing action. Read more

Variety Staff, Variety: Perfectly dreadful in every respect, this big-budget remake of the late H.B. Halicki's 1974 indie hit may well rep the nadir of the Bruckheimer (and Simpson) franchise, and doesn't even rate on the most basic level as a good car-chase picture. Read more

Dennis Lim, Village Voice: The movie doesn't just look and sound like a car commercial. It is a car commercial. Read more

Desson Thomson, Washington Post: Cage has found a movie to challenge Snake Eyes and Eight Millimeter as the dumbest of his career. Read more
