Reception

edit

Dennis Harvey of Variety wrote that the film is "heavier on sex appeal than suspense" and conveys "little sense of place".[1]

Phil Hall of Film Threat wrote that the film "isn't thrilling", the "wildly untalented" cast has "no clue how respond to the parameters of a crime drama", and Gaston is "unable to disguise the poverty of the production".[3] Bay Windows' Brian Jewell criticized the film for its lack of consistency. Jewell also praised Darvish's performance amid the otherwise weak cast.[2]
