What is it that makes us decide, when we get to the movies, to buy a ticket and see one film over another?...Afterburn justifies at least one [reason] (the cast, as we'll see). [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 2/4

La Nación (Argentina)

It couldn't be more linear, and yet the story manages to get bogged down in every moment where there aren't grenades exploding in people's faces. [Full review in Spanish]

(Director) J.J. Perry saddles Bautista with a severely underdeveloped example of the reluctant hero archetype, preferring that he punch, shoot and drive his way through a wasteland of action movie clichés rendered in relentless blacks and grays

Rated: 1.5/5

... feels like it’s recombining ideas from other vigilante thrillers and post-apocalyptic sagas without bringing much new to the table.

The Times of India

‘Afterburn’ doesn’t break new ground and offers a mediocre, rowdy, fast-moving ride with just a few standout action scenes. It’s the sort of movie that fills two hours with noise, heat, and spectacle but is gone from memory as soon as the lights come up.

Rated: 2.5/5

Good action. Direction is a bit thin. Bautista's acting talents are improving but he did not get as much directing here as with Guardians. He is none-the-less very likeable. Worth the popcorn.

Straight up action movie. Some contrived plot points to move the story along. Some build up of tough opponents that were easily taken care of. Predictable.
