Cook Richard McGonagle as Alan Gould Shanna Moakler as Alexandra T.J. Thyne as Karl Wendt Charles Cyphers as Henderson Jack Betts as Atty. Gen. Ames Reception Website Cool Target called it "enjoyable action nonsense" and stated: "Recycled footage to this extent is just lazy and kind of insulting but if you can get past this, Critical Mass is an enjoyably amusing low rent shoot-em up." Moria.co gave the film only one star out of five, calling it "yet another version on Die Hard (1988) and the basic plot template it created of a lone individualistic hero inside a large building/facility single-handedly fending off a terrorist plot."
