The script is so thinly written that the main characters are defined almost entirely by the actors playing them. Fortunately, seasoned pros Slater, Rhames and Cromwell are able to flesh out their boilerplate parts.

Los Angeles Times by Robert Abele
A movie with a location named Snake Island should deliver more fun than this.
Village Voice by Nick Pinkerton
Christian "Direct-to-Video" Slater lends not a shred of credibility to the role of Craig MacKenzie.
The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
This is a film so bad that not only was it not screened in advance for critics, it's publicists wouldn't even provide background information. It might as well have been entered into the Witness Protection Program.
The New York Times
For the cast, shooting the movie (in Ukraine) may have been a working vacation, but for viewers, watching it is an excruciating sentence of hard labor.
