“Evokes an unrelentingly unsettling atmosphere throughout”

“A two-dimensional thriller with poorly written characters, a predictable plot & clumsy dialogue”

“Nothing you haven’t seen a hundred times before – Jessica Alba really deserves better”

“What few laughs are to be had are all thanks to John Cena’s no-holds-barred comedic performance”

“Little more than an exercise in ticking off all of the videogame elements that make an appearance”

“The incredible cast list makes it even more frustrating & disappointing that the film is so tonally disjointed”

“Neither feels like a ‘Halloween’ movie nor stands on its own as an enjoyable standalone horror – but the last 20 minutes do deliver on the promised final showdown”

“The movie never quite seems to decide on a tone or a genre, and the end result is a tiresome mess”

“A physically intimidating performance from Russell Crowe can’t save the film from a weak script & inexplicable character decisions”

“The surreal humour makes this an amusing watch, even if it does run out of steam halfway through”

“Nanjiani & Bautista can make anything watchable, but this feels like a wasted opportunity”

“This uninspired introduction seems likely to be the beginning and end of this wannabe series”

“A passable, if fairly forgettable, man-versus-nature thriller, lifted by a convincing performance by Kaya Scodelario”

“If you liked the first film, you should enjoy this too”

“The handful of decent actions sequences aren’t enough to distract from the fact the plot is a hodgepodge of action movie clichés”

“Although Adam Sandler gives his all to this role, spending over two hours with his unsympathetic & unlikeable character is exhausting”

“Not funny or romantic enough to work as a rom-com & not Christmassy enough to work as a Christmas movie”

“An odd-couple action comedy, but neither the action nor the comedy work particularly well”

“Claire Foy makes the character her own, but the generic plot is underwhelming”

“Come back, Topher Grace, all is forgiven”

“Enjoyable, but never quite lives up to the potential of its premise”

“After a promising start, it ends up like just another straight-to-DVD action thriller”

“Works as an introduction to an ongoing series, but unsatisfying as a standalone film”

“Simply not a scratch on its predecessor”
