What the Critics say | ||
24.com Ilan Preskovsky A.X.L. is a fairly innocuous little movie that may still work reasonably enough for ten-year-old boys who love dogs and robots and haven’t seen enough movies to know any better. And, honestly, the whole thing is closer to being lame than truly objectionable. | 5 | |
ScreenIt Jim Judy My advice, if you have a hankering for seeing a young man tame a wild beast of the canine persuasion, stick with Alpha. Otherwise, you're going to be stuck with an A.X.L. where the sound and vibrations of the bad bearings inside end up making this a decidedly less than enjoyable cinematic ride. | 6 | |
