Apatow's former confidence about not underestimating the intelligence of his audiences seems to have largely disappeared. September 12, 2008 | Rating: 2/5

Watching this without having got stoned first is like watching a 3D movie without the special glasses. There are a few moderate laughs (and a nice Jude Law gag) but the full-on gory violence is disconcerting and unfunny. September 12, 2008 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Unfortunately, director David Gordon Green is never able to sustain any comic momentum... Don't get me wrong, "Express" is still good enough that I left entertained -- just not nearly as much as I hoped I would. October 29, 2019 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

This is a baggy, pointless, tiresome film, which is also messy, puerile, cack-handedly gruesome and plain unfunny. August 23, 2018 | Full Review…

David Gordon Green seems to have used this template as some sort of experiment... Green's method is like a stone-cold killer in a John Woo movie: He makes us laugh, then immediately shoots us in the face. June 7, 2018 | Full Review…
