Entertainment Reviews:
The Blood of Heroes is a multimillion-dollar movie with about as much plot and depth as your average arcade game, but it's never quite as involving.

Washington Post
Rating: 2.5/4 --
The film goes wrong by appropriating worn material, then constructing around it a narrative so ruthlessly straightforward it steamrolls over any possibility of dramatic suspense.

TV Guide
Rating: 3/5 --
An unusually successful film of its kind, a good, lean variation on the post-apocalypse adventure-thriller that looks into the future to see the Dark Ages of the past.
New York Times
Plot development is slim. Much of running time is given over to the game itself, which seems to have no rules except that the winning team places the skull of a dog atop a pointed stick.

...A good, lean variation on the post-apocalyspe adventure-thriller....Peoples and his associates seem to have had a grand old time creating a terrible new world...
New York Times
There's little to look at and nothing worth hearing. Even the game itself is a drag.

Time Out
Poor old Hauer. Doesn't he long to play sensible characters in settings that don't involve post-apocalyptic societies and peculiar headbands? If he does, his agent never got the message.
