2/5
The film's anthropological interest in Indonesia is the smartest thing in an otherwise familiar scramble of kidnapped babes, expensive jewelry and millions of bullets. Go to Full Review
Andrew Barker Variety 05/15/2013
The potential fun is all thoroughly undone, however, by an eye-roller of a script and a leaden lead performance from Twilight heartthrob Kellan Lutz. Go to Full Review
Kyle Smith New York Post 05/10/2013
1/4
Lutz ... doesn't have half the charisma required to hold together this jumble of cheesy shootouts and chases, but at least Rourke provides some unintended laughs with his comical attempts to be evil. Go to Full Review

a wretched mess of an action film Go to Full Review
Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 06/12/2013
Despite some appealing exotic locales, the action sequences and plot twists are right off the genre assembly line. Go to Full Review

Goran M 11/16/2023 Absolutely beautiful, one-way action movie with a couple of twists and some unnecessary scenes of violence. Enjoy it, like i did. See more 04/10/2022 I'm a Lutz fan, but Java Heat is poorly written and filmed. Lutz is trying to track down the source of a terrorist bombing...and the whole plot is done in the most myopic way possible. See more 03/15/2020 This is some Java you can drink for a decent buzz. Plenty of cool, gun-shooting goodness. Mickey R. does not disappoint as a sleazed pervert. This beats Old Rambo any day! See more mauro l 12/04/2018 With Kellan Lutz and Mickey Rourke could only come out a B movie, which seeks to compensate the shortcomings in each compartment with an excess of twists that results in an almost incomprehensible plot. However, it flows away fast. (Mauro Lanari) See more 12/04/2016 After finishing this movie, I am convinced Kellan Lutz will never be in a good movie. The dude sucks something awful. It didn't help that this script was absolute doo-doo either. No actor in Hollywood would've saved this film from its ridiculousness. Literally made the main actor an idiot who doesn't use his brain, at all. I feel bad for Mickey Rourke. Stop doing these films Mickey, you're better than this, way better. See more 09/04/2016 Pretty terrible action film that I only watched because I love Mickey Rourke and I wanted to put something on that only deserved half of my attention while I worked on my laptop. The film is about a Muslim detective and an American posing as a graduate student trying to find the man behind a series of terrorist bombings in Indonesia. The mad bomber is none other than a white suited, greasy haired Mickey Rourke. Rourke is in full goofball mode here, sniffing flowers, wearing ridiculous looking sarongs, and simply doing what I suspect was trying to give hie character something more than what was in the script. The main thing I enjoyed about this film is trying to imaging that Rourke was the same character he played in "Double Team" and had somehow lived. Just as in "Double Team" Rourke does get a slow motion shot of himself walking away form an explosion he was responsible for. That was about as good as this film got. Probably only worth watching for Rourke completionists (which I count myself among). See more Read all reviews
