Rating: 9/10 --
Great dark humor and enjoyable performances make this one a winner. Surprisingly, the animated sequences also work quite well.

We Got This Covered
Rating: 2/5 --
Writer-director James Gunn eventually loses control of the tone, which slips from deadpan to deadly and trashes what little amusement there was in a finale of gruesome violence.

This critic recommends this idiosyncratic film -- as long as you aren't too bothered by the sight of men getting the life beaten out of them.

Washington Examiner
Rating: 2/5 --
As black comedy, it works reasonably well some of the time, with plenty of black but not much comedy.

Guardian
Rating: 2/5 --
Offers genuine empathy with the put-upon protagonist's longing for justice, yet plays the bloody ramifications for cartoonish fun.

Time Out
Rating: 2/4 --
The graphic violence spatters along for an hour and a half until we reach that point when writer-director James Gunn says, "That's all I've got" and basically gives up.

Product Description:
When sad-sack loser Frank (Rainn Wilson, The Office), a short-order cook, sees his ex-addict wife (Liv Tyler, The Lord of the Rings) willingly snatched away by a seductive drug dealer (Kevin Bacon), he finds himself bereft and unable to cope. But he decides to fight back under the guise of a do-it-yourself superhero called Crimson Bolt. With a red hand-made suit, a wrench, a crazed sidekick named Boltie (Ellen Page, Juno) and absolutely nothing in the way of superpowers Crimson Bolt beats his way through the mean streets of crime in hopes of saving his wife.
