Ian Freer of Empire magazine wrote: "In the ’90s it would have been a serviceable DTV alternative when the Van Damme/Jeff Wincott flick was out at Blockbuster. These days it is a lacklustre anachronism. Bruce Willis should really know better."[8] Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian gave it 1 out of 5 and wrote: "A straight-to-video nightmare is all that's on offer here."[9]
