Critic Reviews:
The director seems to take greater delight in laboriously killing off his characters than he does in delivering jokes.

The dark humor that made [the original] really daring, strange, and cool just somehow gets lost here.

It nails its tone as an offbeat black comedy, managing to balance the macabre and the silly.

After a zingy, tight first hour, the concision gives way to flab. The executions become a touch mechanical, the gags start to feel forced, and the avalanche of lavishly nicknamed baddies loses distinction.

The whole tone of this glib black comedy, with its cartoon bad guys and conspiratorial wink with each addition to the body count, seems rather dated.

“It’s a good movie,” Neeson said at the end of his unsatisfactory ABC interview. We’ll give him that.
