Critics Consensus: For visceral thrills, it can't be beat. Just don't expect The Rock to engage your brain.

Reviews

Rotten

The Rock still feels generic and lacking in any of the flourishes that distinguish hacks from legendary auteurs.

Rotten

Much of the action feels thin and inauthentic.

Very entertaining action hokum that benefits hugely from the uses made of the three stars.

The special effects are reason enough to check this one out.

...if The Rock lacks any kind of realism...there's no shortage of crowd-pleasing antics to amuse all classes...
