Reviews

Brian Webster wrote in the Apollo Movie Guide that the film shows that contemporary filmmaking is subject to "very, very bad trends." The uninspired, "disgusting" and "non-representational" film has nothing to say. He is a mutated form of pulp fiction with numerous shootings. The representations are not particularly bad.

TV Spielfilm magazine wrote that the film was "lead and confused".

“A road movie full of corpses, which one cannot deny a certain gun fanaticism and which looks too obviously at the Tarantino successes. Convincing actors cannot save the violent film either. "
