Iyo ang Batas, Akin ang Katarungan

Iyo ang Batas was graded "B" by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB), indicating a "Good" quality.^[3] It was released in theaters on September 22, 1988.

Lav Diaz, writing for the Manila Standard, gave Iyo ang Batas a negative review, criticizing the film overall as excessively cliché ("gasgas") and citing its title, story, action, and dialogue as examples. Diaz stated that "you would feel like you have already seen this movie many times or even heard it in a number of bloody radio programs."^[4] However, he noted that what can be considered the film's strength is its intense action, in the vein of films starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone.^[4]

In 2016, in the early months of the Philippine drug war, Janus Isaac Nolasco of Kyoto Review of Southeast Asia cited the film as a demonstration of a general perception that Philippine society lacks an effective criminal justice system, with the hero Dante Reyes deciding to take matters into his own hands against a corrupt mayor.^[5]
