Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 1/4 --
I thought perhaps the movie would at least include a little pop sociology to soften its blood-letting. Not a chance. It's a cheerfully unashamed exploitation of two of our great national preoccupations, pro football and guns.

Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 2/5 --
While the acting styles of John Cassavetes and Charlton Heston clash like cymbals, director Larry Peerce preoccupies himself with grandstanding camerawork that does little to heighten tension or make us care for the potential targets.

Radio Times
Efficient enough as formula suspense, but it fails to confront the implications of its subject, preferring instead evasiveness and fast cynicism to pull it through.

Time Out
3 stars out of 5 -- [A] lesser-known disaster movie from 1976...with a hectic, panic-inducing last act....Director Larry Peerce nicely builds the widescreen tension.
Empire
A great concept and seamless use of real sports action make this a memorable experience, but despite a great cast the characters are all too familiar, and fatally, attempts at building tension sag under a bloated running time.

The cast of excellent actors is completely wasted.

Los Angeles Free Press
In applauding the military tactics of the SWAT anti-terrorist squad, the picture justifies a kind of war psychology for civilians.
