Reception

John Defore of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "If the dangers tilt toward the lurid, though, the film never quite loses sight of its endpoint or gives in to the horrors it threatens. Unsatisfyingly, it instead concludes with a tech-flavored shot that might hint at greater ambitions for what seems like a stand-alone adventure." [2] Dennis Harvey of Variety called the film "an offbeat conceptual mixture, albeit one that’s somewhat frustrating and occasionally tedious, if beautifully photographed by Austin Schmidt." [3]

Noel Murray of the Los Angeles Times wrote that "given how visually inventive and unusual the film’s first five minutes are, it’s disappointing that, by its last half hour, it essentially turns into one undistinguished chase scene after another." [4] Jeannette Catsoulis of The New York Times wrote that the film "is only marginally more thrilling than the average wine tasting." [5]
