Featuring hammy performances and bland characters, Solo is an all too straightforward actioner that's both predictable and instantly forgettable.

The action is neither big nor imaginatively filmed enough to satisfy fans of the genre, though Van Peebles seems to be enjoying his crack at sad-eyed, Chaplinesque pathos. July 27, 2014 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

These escapist showdown movies are only as good as their villains and heroes. The heavies here are more of those ubiquitous gung-ho military types who are due to be dishonorably discharged from further cinematic duty. May 28, 2013 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

Here's a surprise tucked into the languishing days of summer movies. Arriving with hardly any attention is a satisfying, even fun, action picture about a futuristic soldier named Solo. May 28, 2013 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Since the hero and the villains are equally mechanical, the big, loud battles are as exciting and suspenseful as watching people play Mortal Kombat for 90 minutes. May 28, 2013 | Full Review…

Solo is at least instructive as a miscellany of action movie cliches in one neat and depressing package. May 28, 2013 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

The best one can say for Norberto Barba is that he directs a slick piece of goods. But no amount of fast cutting or tempo can disguise the material's simplistic, thoughtless nature. August 5, 2006

An altogether nonsensical bit of action/sci-fi garbage that marries a dreadful script with hilariously chintzy action. May 27, 2018 | Rating: 1.5/5 | Full Review…

He's The Terminator's distant cousin. He's Solo, and he's jerrybuilt from parts of so many other movies that it's hard to recognize a single original element in this android-warrior saga with Mario Van Peebles in the thankless title role. August 2, 2014 | Full Review…

There are too many moments of unintentional comedy caused by the ropey macho dialogue and the hammy performances of bad guys William Sadler and Barry Corbin. May 28, 2013 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Solo contains the usual shoot-'em-ups, an undistinguished performance from Van Peebles, plus lots of crummy dialogue. May 28, 2013 | Full Review…
