3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Jolie's don't-mess-with-me fierceness is palpable, and it allows her to angrily throw herself into the martial arts action like she means every blow she strikes." - 07/23/2010 Los Angeles Times

"The physical stunts just keep on coming....Jolie is just the one to pull off the character's unrelenting physicality." - 07/23/2010 USA Today
