Reception

Patrick Cooper of Bloody Disgusting wrote that Evered "has crafted an intelligent, relevant thriller that’s driven by two great leads. It takes longer than it should to get going, but once it does it’s thoroughly absorbing – even when predictable." [1]

Adam Tyner of DVD Talk rated the film 1.5 stars out of 5, and called it "competent but only sporadically effective", writing that it is "still too uneven to recommend with anything resembling enthusiasm, and the rough-hewn production doesn't make for high definition eye candy so much." [2]
