Reception

Critical response

Bryan Kristopowitz stated that Sweepers is a 'terrific action movie' which is 'filled with multiple explosions and copious amounts of gunplay' and is 'one of the star Lundgren’s best of the 1990s'.[2] Another reviewer stated that Sweepers is 'graced with some beautiful location shooting, a great cast, a quality story with political implications and solid direction'.[3] A different reviewer stated that the film is a 'hidden gem in the career of Dolph Lundgren'.[4] In contrast, Mick Martin and Marsha Porter stated that the film was evidence the Lundgren's career had hit 'rock bottom'.[5] A reviewer for Video Store Magazine stated that the film was 'pretty standard fare, with lots of gunfire and dialogue loaded with unintentional laughs'.[6]
