Reception

Michael Wilmington of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a negative review and wrote, "The people who made Genuine Risk would probably like us to believe they’re taking a few risks themselves. But they aren’t." [1]

TV Guide also gave the film a negative review: "It's a no-frills thriller with all the basic ingredients but no flavor." [2]

Rose Thompson of Radio Times awarded the film two stars out of five. [3]
