Reception
Critical reception for Ax 'Em has been overwhelmingly negative, and Beyond Hollywood opined that the film was "one of the most visually atrocious films I’ve come across in a long, long time."[2] Something Awful gave it a rating of - 48, commenting "How do you review a movie so unfit for public viewing that you can't even figure out any of the characters' names?"[3] I-Mockery criticized the film heavily in one of their movie spotlights, remarking "At the end of the credits, the word, “peace” is shown. Never have I seen a stronger case for war."[4] The Baltimore Sun was slightly more positive in its review, commenting that the film initially showed some promise but that "Once the killings begin, the movie ceases to generate much interest."[5]
