Joe Leydon Variety Pic overall has the feel of something tossed off to pass time and pay bills between more prestigious gigs. Oct 16, 2007 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...ultimately manages to overcome its myriad of deficiencies to become a surprisingly entertaining little actioner... Rated: 3/4 Jun 8, 2008 Full Review Keith Breese Filmcritic.com There's a reason this went straight to DVD, folks Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 5, 2007 Full Review Brian Webster Apollo Guide Filled with head scratchingly dumb twists and cornball dialogue, this is not exactly a brilliant film. Yet it's got a slick look and at least a few passable action scenes. Rated: 63/100 Aug 31, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Brilliant. A modern day Monty Python. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review John d GREAT FILM. underrated Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/11/25 Full Review Jerrod G Bobby Z had quite the action definitely entertaining with Laurence Fishburne to boot. Action with a very small splash of drama is all this movie has to offer though. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review Jelisije J An entertaining disjointed film where a convict must go undercover as a genius spoiled rich man in order to walk from the prison system...... the problem is though the cartel, aryan brotherhood, and corrupt cops want him dead. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/14/25 Full Review Jeffrey P A solid little motion picture that stays above water without overdoing it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review Audience Member Really liked this story although the movie adaptation has too many flashbacks and didn't do well at the box office. But come on, how many movies does the reluctant hero get away with the beautiful girl, adopted son, the money, and the boat? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
