Critic Reviews

Owen Gleiberman

This is a B movie rooted in gut-level stirrings of power and retaliation. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

Opens explosively and never lets up. Read full review

Nathan Rabin

Thankfully, State Of The Union's pulpy, adrenalized blaxploitation spin on the secret-agent genre provides the dumb fun its predecessor should have dished out. Read full review

Peter L'Official

The winking title X Cubed somehow eluded the makers of this sequel, along with plot coherency, character development, or clever explosions of genre convention. Read full review

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Of course the movie's real raison d'etre is watching Ice Cube tear up government facilities and blockades with a tank, spout Schwarzenegger-style kiss-off lines, and commandeer the kind of babes and high-tech cars that James Bond usually plays with. Read full review

Lawrence Toppman

The special effects excite at first but wear out their welcome. Read full review

Mick LaSalle

How bad does it get? How far past the basement can one elevator go? Read full review

I didn't realize that being in the NRA made me a racist. I wish movies would stop putting those irritating political messages in their movies and just entertain me.
