Reception

Danny Brogan of Common Sense Media rated the film 4 stars out of 5 and wrote, "There's the occasional plot hole, but given the whole movie feels like a dreamlike -- or nightmare -- sequence, they don't deter from a rollercoaster of a movie that will keep you guessing to the very end."^[1]

Starburst rated the film 5 stars out of 10 and called it a "well-executed gangster caper with a killer punchline."^[2]

Leslie Felperin of The Guardian rated the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote, "If you stumble on this in the middle of the night, it’s a mildly amusing, only moderately sexist diversion from the chaos of life these days."^[3]
