Quote: "Survivor is 96 minutes of rip-roaring action, with heavyweight actors managing to paper over some of the plot holes with their performances. Watch without prejudice, and you’ll enjoy it.

Quote: "As you can probably surmise from just that brief plot recap, originality is not exactly one of the strong points of survivor—screenwriter Phillip Shelby has essentially given viewers a mash-up of any number of movies… The best thing about "Survivor" are the performances from Jovovich and Brosnan in the lead roles… Neither particularly good nor particularly bad, "Survivor" is the kind of film that one can safely put on the television while other stuff is going on without worry that important plot points will be missed along the way."
