Reviews
Almost unanimous rejection from the German community of critics: "Dull follow-up to A man sees red, " was Cinema . "Only moderately exciting, brutal action film that subliminally justifies vigilante justice," said the lexicon of international films .
The New York Times saw it similarly: “It's all very chivalrous, but it's also very dull. Briton Ireland is not developing a talent for the hillbilly accent, and as a weird note she doesn't want to fit. [...] Bronson is reliably getting cooler with every film, but this one is too clumsy to use it to his advantage. "
Video.de saw it differently: “Solid action; consistently exciting ripper. "
