Reception

Dennis Harvey of Variety wrote, "Pedestrian handling, a clumsy script and some poor acting from name and local thesps alike squander the story’s potential."[3]

Jud Cost of Magnet called the direction "amateurish" and "hamfisted", the script "lousy" and "cliche-ridden", the cinematography "murky", and the editing "random". Cost also criticised the performances of Mann and Harrison.[4]
