Dennis Harvey of Variety called the film "stylish but shallow" and praised the performance of Banderas.[2] Dustin Chase of The Daily News graded the film a "D-" and called it a "cheap film that never tries to make the most of a limited budget."[3] Tara McNara of Common Sense Media rated the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote that while it "isn't a great film by any stretch of the imagination", it has "exciting" adjustments and has "some heart".[4]
Sumner Forbes of Film Threat gave the film a score of 5.5/10 and wrote that it "struggles to set itself apart from the crowded pack."[5] Julian Roman of MovieWeb wrote that the film "surpasses typical genre films with a modicum of depth."[6]
