Reception
The Guardian panned the film, awarding it one star and criticizing the strange casting choices (such as Lang as an Indian character) and poor production values.[3] The New York Times was equally critical, questioning the basis of the film and calling the production 'shoddy'.[4] The Los Angeles Times called the script 'clunky' and said 'Its timely messages become muted amid a kaleidoscope of settings, characters, brusque action scenes, blunt speechifying and wan romance.'[5]
