This is a ride, a video game, a soundtrack -- unapologetic and clearly labeled as such. It has no middle speed.

Relentless, infantile and impossible to dislike.

Cradle boasts a couple of bravura fight and chase scenes but they're stranded amid the predictable and the pedestrian.

Would be a perfectly decent B-action movie if it weren't shipwrecked in the last act by laughably ridiculous plotting and a lazily executed climax.
30
It's saying something when Tom Arnold's performance is among the movie's highlights.
30
A secondhand action movie that retreads all the tired staples of the 1980s and '90s.
0
Replete with audience-insulting writing and blatantly hateful jokes, storytelling like this makes most video game plots look like "Moby Dick."

One of my top 10 action movies of all time.Apart from being a rapper,DMX is a really good **** camera angles in the film was mind blowing.However only the 1st tank scene was unrealistic cuz you can't easily get a tank like **** storyline was pretty decent and the quad chase scene was **** those who haven't seen the movie.Definitely CHECK IT Out.Imma buy the soundtrack album too.
