“A two-dimensional thriller with poorly written characters, a predictable plot & clumsy dialogue”
“What few laughs are to be had are all thanks to John Cena’s no-holds-barred comedic performance”
“Little more than an exercise in ticking off all of the videogame elements that make an appearance”
“The incredible cast list makes it even more frustrating & disappointing that the film is so tonally disjointed”
“Neither feels like a ‘Halloween’ movie nor stands on its own as an enjoyable standalone horror – but the last 20 minutes do deliver on the promised final showdown”
“The movie never quite seems to decide on a tone or a genre, and the end result is a tiresome mess”
“The surreal humour makes this an amusing watch, even if it does run out of steam halfway through”
“Nanjiani & Bautista can make anything watchable, but this feels like a wasted opportunity”
“This uninspired introduction seems likely to be the beginning and end of this wannabe series”
“A passable, if fairly forgettable, man-versus-nature thriller, lifted by a convincing performance by Kaya Scodelario”
“If you liked the first film, you should enjoy this too”
“Although Adam Sandler gives his all to this role, spending over two hours with his unsympathetic & unlikeable character is exhausting”
“Not funny or romantic enough to work as a rom-com & not Christmassy enough to work as a Christmas movie”
“An odd-couple action comedy, but neither the action nor the comedy work particularly well”
“Come back, Topher Grace, all is forgiven”
“Enjoyable, but never quite lives up to the potential of its premise”
“After a promising start, it ends up like just another straight-to-DVD action thriller”
“Works as an introduction to an ongoing series, but unsatisfying as a standalone film”
“Squarely aimed at the under-10s market”
