Reviews
Anita Gates wrote in the New York Times on May 9, 1997 that the film was a "bloody psychological thriller" that wants to be Pulp Fiction and shows how "brilliant" Pulp Fiction was. In this film, good actors in the main roles would endeavor to give credibility to the characters embodied in spite of the "strange" lines of dialogue. This succeeds in the "admirable" part. The "dark" style is "effective".
The magazine TV direkt 10/2007 marked the film as one of the "weak films" and advised to switch.
