Epoch Times

Employing every known genre cliché while inventing some new ones, the blunt and to-the-point titled “Shrapnel” makes numerous unforced errors right out of the gate.

Rated: 1/5

Jeffrey M. Anderson

Common Sense Media

With a complete lack of interest in suspense or character, this dull action thriller consists almost entirely of shoot-outs between grim-faced heroes and utterly generic villains.

Rated: 1/5

Cinemalogue

Brutally violent confrontations add some visceral intensity to this vigilante thriller, which otherwise is overwhelmed by narrative cliches.

Blu-ray.com

Buoyed by Patric, who pushes to bring passably authentic emotions to an otherwise generic siege tale, giving as good a performance as one can possibly expect from a B-movie with limited storytelling goals.

Rated: C

Jo and I liked very little. The plot of a father who is an ex Command and the like and has a kidnapped daughter, and goes in search of her has been covered so many times it becomes very boring. This movie has absolutely nothing new. The location is on the border of Mexico and USA. All the Mexican cops are corrupt. There is virtually non stop violence after about twenty mins of the movie. We have our hero, his wife and his daughter (he has two - one is kidnapped along with her friend and being sold for sex) fighting of around ten Mexicans who have machine guns, grenades , ammunition, ey al, being besieged with only a USA cop in a car who does nothing because nothing works except a small hand gun. He disappears quickly whist our hero fights off all these villains, one even wears a hideous mask. With his hysterical wife and daughter he manages to kill most of these ferocious villains and escapes without a scratch with them. He meets up with his friend, the father of the other girl and they go to the super home of the head criminal with his army of thugs. Our now two heroes kills all these thugs and beats the hell out of the boss who reveals where the two young girls are. They rescue them amongst more mayhem, still without a scratch or hair out of place and thankfully the movie ends. The extra star we gave was because it had. happy ending and the movie ended, too.

There is no effort put in this film. Very cliche and very boring.

I applaud this movie’s actions scenes and gun play. The producers did a good job with the gun handling and tactical sequences. Not sure why other reviewers are saying the gun play is unrealistic, this movie does a good job with their true to life gun manipulation and shoot outs. A lot better than the hollywoodesque unrealistic shootouts we see in movies like John Wick.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

It's a pretty good flick. The actions scenes are very good, with one exception. They are little bit more drawn out than necessary. Story is simple yet good.
