Los Angeles Times by Kenneth Turan
Almost completely lacking in genuine thrills. Even the attractive presence of star Angelina Jolie can't keep this leaden, plodding, completely underwhelming film from playing like "Lara Croft: Yawn Inducer."

TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
It's all about action and ogling -- Jolie's boobs, butt and thighs get so much screen time they deserve their own credits.

Austin Chronicle by Marc Savlov
The game is great fun -- the movie ought to be taken out back and shot.

Chicago Tribune by Michael Wilmington
A staggeringly bad picture: a shallow, cliche-ridden mess that keeps blowing up on screen.

Rolling Stone by Peter Travers
Slick-dick director Simon West, of "Con Air" and "The General's Daughter" infamy, continues to show no flair at all for blending action and character. Jolie and Lara deserved better. So did we.

Philadelphia Inquirer by Steven Rea
A by-the-numbers extravanganza that journeys from London to Venice to Siberia to Cambodia without ever really going anywhere.
