- 67Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanEntertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanIn its low grade way, this blithely brutal cops and drugs thriller is an efficient hot wire entertainment.
- 60L.A. WeeklyF. X. FeeneyL.A. WeeklyF. X. FeeneySilver, manages the deft balance of making Seagal seem both genuinely courageous and charmingly blockheaded.
- 50Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenAustin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenIn Seagal's movies, the interesting stuff never derives from what happens, but rather from how it happens. Exit Wounds is certainly one of his best efforts, although the distinction is a dubious one at best.
- 50Boston GlobeJay CarrBoston GlobeJay CarrIts pile-driving succession of set pieces comes at you with numbingly relentless efficiency, presumably in the hope that you won't notice or care how dumb it all is.
- 40Los Angeles TimesGene SeymourLos Angeles TimesGene SeymourIt's a pastiche of pulpy elements culled from all the "Dirty Harry" movies you can think of.
- 38New York PostJonathan ForemanNew York PostJonathan ForemanThis movie, cynically and patronizingly aimed at Seagal's predominantly "urban" audience, is sad, tedious proof that even violent exploitation isn't what it used to be.

- 30Mr. ShowbizCody ClarkMr. ShowbizCody ClarkThe movie is more or less competent for being what it is. Of course, I could say the same of most brick walls -- but I'd hardly recommend that you pay eight bucks to sit in front of one for two hours.
- 20VarietyTodd McCarthyVarietyTodd McCarthyViewers who sit through Exit Wounds should at least do themselves the favor of staying for the end credits, which feature some truly funny off-color banter between Anderson and Arnold on the latter's ostensible talkshow.
