Reception

Raquel Hernández Luján of HobbyConsolas gave the film 70 points ('good'), singling out its "good" balance between action and humor, its pace, and its "tight" running time as the best things about it, while warning that it is pure entertainment that will not change anyone's life. [6]

Juan Pando  [ es ] of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, citing the plot twist involving Cristina Kovani as the best thing about the film, while mentioning the "fake" lovestory between the civil guard agent and the public servant as the worst thing about it. [7]

Carlos Boyero, film critic of El País (and long friend of Resines), wrote that "everything [in the film] is correct", but also "forgettable". [8]

Enid Román Almansa of Cinemanía rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, deeming it to be "yet another action movie, entertaining and easy to watch", in which the best thing is the "adorable" mini-romance between the supporting characters. [9]
