Distributed by Filmax, the film was theatrically released in Spain on 27 January 2023.
Javier Ocaña of El País assessed that the film incorporates vulgar dialogue and "laughable sequences that look like something out of a bad Guy Ritchie movie", otherwise featuring such a degree of gratuitous violence that it ends up being "torture porn without quality".[5]
Sergio F. Pinilla of Cinemanía rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, considering that it "entertains, but pales in comparison to the original film".[6]
