- Reviews were mixed and lukewarm, but Roger Ebert was not lukewarm: three stars.
- Ebert did not like the ending but said Stallone wrote a very good, well-paced movie, well acted by Stallone, Crenna and Dennehy.
- Ebert also wrote that almost all of the film is implausible but audiences buy it because it is Stallone on screen.
- The hosts disagree that it is implausible and think it could have happened, apart from the neatly contained explosions.
- Stallone's physicality makes the cliff fall believable, which is offered as what Ebert was getting at.
