Critics at a glance
The Free Press Journal: 2 Stars
"Ghost Soldier has a timely premise and a few entertaining flourishes, but its formulaic storytelling, ideological overindulgence and surprisingly pedestrian action leave it firing more blanks than bullets"
Also: "Some action sequences flash with ingenuity, but frantic editing, excessive close-ups, and the PG-13 rating dilute their impact"

Variety
"By comparison, “Ghost Soldier” has the spontaneity of a training exercise that’s been run too many times"
Also: "Caviezel, who successfully sells his role as a super-soldier but fails to inject any deeper humanity in Fitz beyond the fact that he befriends a young boy"

Screen Rant
"Unfortunately, Ghost Soldier’s action isn’t enough to pull the film from dwelling in mediocrity"
Also: "The action sequences, most of which come in the film’s third act, aren’t shot poorly by any means, but they’re far from the jaw-dropping, nail-biting experiences that audiences have come to expect"

"I had a really good time watching it, and seeing a meat-and-potatoes actioner like this hit theaters is always cause for celebration"
