Reviews

• Wesley Lovell wrote in the "Apollo Guide": Treat Williams seems to be tired after a long career, because his game does not seem credible. Udo Kier portrays the villain one-dimensionally. The supporting actors' play is "below the standard". All characters are "stereotypical amalgamation of clichés". The film offers "an overabundance of boredom".
• Ryan J. Kenner wrote in "MovieReviews": The role of Treat Williams was a low point in his career. There are only two good action scenes, both borrowed from other films.
