Reviews
- The action film is a "roughly developed story that is primarily staged based on the exaggerated car crash and chase sequences". It does not create tension. ( Lexicon of International Films )
- The only goal of the film is to entertain the action fans. He imitates the most famous blockbusters of the mid-90s. The actors seem as if "reciting" the "stupid" dialogues would overwhelm them. ( Source )
Others
One of the filming locations is the Hotel Inter-Continental in Los Angeles .
