Metacritic reviews

Has a shameless B-movie exuberance.

Jean-Claude Van Damme's latest dud.

This testosterone-fest even features a battle inside a strip bar replete with topless women. Talk about your guilty pleasures.

Lightning fails to strike twice -- an underwhelming follow-up to one of the career-stalled action star's better efforts.

Devoid of personality and has an annoying gratuitous sentimental streak.

Plenty of bone-crunching brawn, but not a brain cell in sight.

Custom-made for an audience of mouth-breathers.

Slow-moving and violent mess...feels slow even at a scant 82 minutes...Even by the slack standards of Van Damme's oeuvre, "The Return" is a letdown.

A mind-numbing exercise in high body counts and big tits.

Lame, mindless dialogue makes Wing Commander seem Cukoresque by comparison.
