Tonally awkward at times and mismatch of various genres with apocalyptic-future science fiction horror mixed with buddy cop comedy, but for all its flaws, found this to be an absurdly entertaining film thanks to Rutger Hauer's charmingly gruff performance.

Dark, absurd, and deeply scary I came here for Rutger, not gonna lie about that. However, what I got was a comic-book like horror-story with great visuals, characters that felt believable and distressed, and a badguy you don't get exposed too too early, too clearly or so much that you you get bored with it. It has funny moments as well, a great cast overall, and great effects and gunplay. It is one of my favorites, even if Rutger had not been in this.
