Reception

A contemporary La Stampa review called the film "a commercially acceptable mix" between "erotic overtones, violence, echoes of the 007 franchise, and a serviceable giallo plot". ^[1] L'Unità dismissed it, referring to it as "extremely crude and slapdash", "failing to satisfy even the modest expectations of a regular amusement-park-goer". ^[2] Paolo Mereghetti also panned the film, describing it as just "uninterrupted Marlboro commercial [...] disguised as a giallo-action film, punctuated by ill-judged comedic digressions". ^[3]
