Reviews
The lexicon of international films wrote that the film was a "[brief] mixture of character drama and comedy". It mentioned the "sympathetic actor", the "interesting [e] milieu" and meant that the "dramatic finale [lifts] the film above the bulk of the offer." Andrea Chee wrote on May 13, 2003 in the Movie Gazette that the characters are interesting. The humorous scenes would make the film entertaining. Scott Weinberg wrote on efilmcritic.com that the relationship between Pally and Charlotte is shown in a way that makes it the "highlight" of the film. The film is predictable and easy to forget, but it is less stupid and more entertaining than numerous video films.
Awards
Kiefer Sutherland and Ross W. Clarkson were nominated for DVD Exclusive Awards in 2003 .
