It's violent enough to numb, but Allyn doesn't launch the effort to rousing heights of escapism. In the end, Java Heat works better as a travelogue than an international actioner.May 05, 2013
A middling genre movie, but it's oddly likable for its conflicted, unresolved tension.May 09, 2013
An action movie for people who don't mind clichéd plotting, lame dialogue, and the low-wattage charisma of third-string Twilight heartthrob Kellan Lutz.June 12, 2013
Despite some appealing exotic locales, the action sequences and plot twists are right off the genre assembly line.May 09, 2013
A better title for "Java Heat" might have been "Java Noise," since that is mostly what this uninvolving action film produces.October 18, 2013
a wretched mess of an action filmMay 09, 2013
This otherwise generic '80s-style actioner benefits from the presence of the ever-colorful Mickey Rourke as an exotic villian.May 15, 2013
The potential fun is all thoroughly undone, however, by an eye-roller of a script and a leaden lead performance from Twilight heartthrob Kellan Lutz.May 10, 2013
The perfect macho date movie for that Type A juicehead in your life, marked by Mickey Rourke's ever-accelerating descent into Lon Chaney-esque grotesqueness.May 10, 2013
Lutz ... doesn't have half the charisma required to hold together this jumble of cheesy shootouts and chases, but at least Rourke provides some unintended laughs with his comical attempts to be evil.May 09, 2013
Remember all those years when Mickey Rourke was languishing in cheap, straight-to-DVD work that paid his rent and wasted his talents? Apparently, he actually enjoyed making those movies.May 17, 2013
The film's anthropological interest in Indonesia is the smartest thing in an otherwise familiar scramble of kidnapped babes, expensive jewelry and millions of bullets.
