March 10, 2012Here's a cool scene: A crocodile is about to eat up Arnold as he scrambles away and pulls out a pistol and shoots it dead.

Mike Clark, USA Today
The middling result, diverting while it lasts but too silly to recommend, is merely this week's funhouse action pic.

Even for escapism, this is on the crazy side. Full Review
