All Critics (23) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (8) | Rotten (7) | DVD (3)

A synthetic pastiche of sci-fi, action movies (borrowing feely from the superior Mad Max movies), and routine prison drama that's a sensless, incoherent mishmash that even a reliable pro like Liota cannot salavage.

A throwback to the energetic sci-fi films of yesteryear. Frantic and Fun.

A watchable futuristic prison flick. Decent B-movie thrills.

Martin Campbell's generally an underrated action director, but this is just okay, not one of his finer efforts

This came out the same time as Fortress, the later is a much better film but this works as a modern B-movie action film.
