Reviews
- Diane Selkirk wrote in Apollo Guide, the plot is interesting and leg hold items that are unique. However, the film can not decide whether to rely on visual beauty or wanted to be action thriller. It is difficult to combine the two, what Three Kings have managed, but this film - less.
- Rotten Tomatoes: The film is a psychological thriller.
