James Berardinelli: Review. In: Reelviews. 1999, abgerufen am 21. Oktober 2025 (englisch): „[P]rove that style and substance do not have to be mutually exclusive. […] [T]here's no shortage of electric excitement, whether it's in the form of hand-to-hand kung fu-type fights or shoot-outs with seemingly limitless ammunition. [… The ending] seems slightly contrived, but […] that's a small price to pay for one of the most enjoyable science fiction thrillers to reach the screen in months.“
