| The Terminator meets kung fu movies, and the result is an uninspired mess - poorly acted, slow and very cheaply produced. |
| MIXED |
| Not great but it should keep sci-fi and Van Damme fans happy. |
| |
| (Derek Winnert, Radio Times Film and Video Guide, 1995) |
| ANTI |
| Pyun's lethargic direction seems intended to destroy what is left of his reputation and Michael Winner films look good by comparison; he succeeds on both counts. A bad, boring movie - and not even a funny one. |
| |
| (Trevor Willsmer, Film Review) |
| Rather repulsive post-apocalyptic fantasy, with a foolish plot and worse dialogue. |
| |
| (John Elliot, Elliot's Guide to Films on Video, 1993) |
| Charmless cliche-packed action movie, carrying the explicit message that violence is good for you. |
| |
| (Halliwell's Film Guide, 2004) |
| A study in bad. Bad script. Bad acting. Bad directing. Bad special effects. |
|
| (Nick Martin & Marsha Porter, Video Movie Guide, 1998) |
| Even by the low standards of post-apocalyptic trash movies, this plumbs new depths. Repulsive. |
