Reception
Jonathan Holland of The Hollywood Reporter deemed the film to be "a smart contemporary item" [...] with "a busy, crumpled central performance by Ben Temple that goes a long way to making up for its defects".[2]
Mirito Torreiro of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, highlighting an "efficient" Temple as the best thing about the film while negatively citing how much credulity the film demands from the viewer.[6]
