To put it simply, if you have seen Robocop, Universal Soldier, Crank and Total Recall, then you can save yourself 100 minutes of watching this limp mash-up. Handsomely-lensed but weakly-scripted - if you are a fan of wince-inducing dialogue, this is a film for you - the film becomes less interesting and more confusing in the second half, with a daft CG-laden finale to round it off. Diesel does what he does appropriately, the reliable Guy Pearce escapes with his dignity just about intact, but overall the film's repetitive structure and over-reliance on very familiar elements renders it largely uninteresting and rarely rising above adequate.
