"Here's a challenge: Sit down at the end of Sabotage and try to make a lick of sense out of the confused plot of this thrill-deprived action thriller."
"David Ayer's End of Watch was otherwise everything a gripping cop drama should be [...] his repellant new movie, co-written with Skip Woods, is its predecessor's posturing, pornographically violent opposite."
"The film fails spectacularly in the central idea that Breacher and his fearless fighting machines are a dysfunctional family of outcasts in which loyalties run deep and betrayals even deeper. What they are is just a bunch of inter-changeable muscle-heads who share a taste for fart humor, strip clubs and boozing in an ensemble that has no cohesion."
"Also on the team are Eddie "Neck" Jordan (Josh Holloway), Julius "Sugar" Edmonds (Terrence Howard), Tom "Pyro" Roberts (Max Martini) and Bryce "Tripod" McNeely (Kevin Vance). It's a bad sign when you spend more time wondering about the origins of those names than focusing on what they're up to."
"What's most remarkable about this big, dumb exploitation movie is how carefully anything approaching psychological texture appears to have been peeled away. As for the reinvention of Schwarzenegger's screen persona that Ayer had promised, it's always a kick to watch the mountain of gristle narrow his gaze as he locks and loads. But even the metal-made Terminator had more heart."
