Reception

However, the third act comes and all the hard work unravels."[17] Douglas Tseng of today also gave the film 2.5 stars out of 5 in his review of the film, stating, "Sometimes, the action is more perspiration than inspiration, while pacing is an issue. At 83 minutes (shorter if you omit the end-credits), it still feels a tad sluggish."[18]
