The stunt work is pretty good, the brain work close to nonexistent. Full Review |

 1.5/4 |
Each and every action scene is stolen from some other movie. Full Review |

The atmosphere is winning, with the odd felicity peppering the journey with gags and groans. Full Review |

We've been here before and it's been done better, much better. Full Review |

Willful suspension of disbelief won't do it. Full Review |

1/5 |
Blends lousy screenwriting with a totally ridiculous premise, and flavors it lovingly with unrealistic situations and unfathomable directing choices. Full Review |

Neither Ulrich's brooding intensity nor Gooding's funky panic act (he whines throughout the stunt work) add much to the enterprise. Full Review |

Here's someone's idea of a cool movie concept: A couple of guys are speeding along in an ice-cream truck carrying a bomb that will explode if it gets above 50. No, not miles per hour -- degrees Fahrenheit! Full Review |

This film is easily forgettable. Full Review |

That this script didn't self-destruct during its first pitch meeting is, well, chilling. Full Review |

|
1/5 |
Director Hugh Johnson's plot is predictable and even Cuba Gooding Jr.'s charismatic presence can't salvage this flick. Full Review |

A halfhearted effort at suspense! Full Review |

A rehash of better action films. Full Review |

The cinematic equivalent of Kraft macaroni and cheese: bland, familiar, tasty.

Cuba Gooding Jr. delivers another Pepsi One performance. Full Review |
