Reception

Elias Savada of Film Threat wrote a positive review of the film. [1]

The New Zealand Herald rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and called it a "Tidy but colourless adaptation of a rocking good story". [2]

Graeme Tuckett of Stuff wrote that while the cast, especially Whelan and Crawley, "give it their all", the film is "without credible dialogue, better drawn characters, and a bit more confidence and swagger in the directors' chair". [3]
