This is a ride, a video game, a soundtrack -- unapologetic and clearly labeled as such. It has no middle speed.
Relentless, infantile and impossible to dislike.

Report
Cradle boasts a couple of bravura fight and chase scenes but they're stranded amid the predictable and the pedestrian.
Would be a perfectly decent B-action movie if it weren't shipwrecked in the last act by laughably ridiculous plotting and a lazily executed climax.
It's saying something when Tom Arnold's performance is among the movie's highlights.
A secondhand action movie that retreads all the tired staples of the 1980s and '90s.
Replete with audience-insulting writing and blatantly hateful jokes, storytelling like this makes most video game plots look like "Moby Dick."
[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]
