Reception
Robert Daniels of The New York Times called it "A tactical and efficient film", describing it as "a throwback to Commando" starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.[3] On Radio Times (Australia), James Mottram rated it 2/5 stars saying that the films is "complete with murky, night-vision-tinged visuals, it's all action and precious little character development."[4]
Tyler Nichols of JoBlo.com wrote that "this is a simple story about a group of 'good guys' entering a war-torn country and saving a hostage. And it’s surprisingly good."[5]
