Geoffrey Sax makes a good fist of the visuals, mustering plenty of bonkers sets, vehicular action and new fangled gizmos.

The most interesting thing about Operation Stormbreaker isnt its content, but the number of quality names involved with it.
Cinema Blend

Bland and formulaic, a kind of British Cody Banks without that movies gaudily over the top elements and largely minus its humor.

The stiff dialog doesnt give him much to work with, but he still turns every line into comedy gold.

The colourful cast have a lot of fun with their slightly cartoonish roles, particularly Bill Nighy and Missi Pyle as Sayles henchwoman.

Most powerfully, also films a number of OGradys victims as they recount their trauma and, in some cases, loss of faith.

Boring, empty, anticlimactic, uninspired and bankrupt of humanity.

Its not much of a plot and TV veteran director Geoffrey Sax struggles with the big screen demands of action scenes.

Stormbreaker plays with, well, not complete authenticity, but more than expected authenticity.
Boxoffice Magazine
1.9
Without a teen zest, a youthful joy or themes specific to being a young spy, Stormbreaker isnt a teen spin on James Bond movie.

Finally, the big evil Stormbreaker plot doesnt shock the audience or move us in anyway to care about what might happen.
