Reception
Jonathan Holland of Variety considered the film to be "an above-average thriller which becomes a below-average thriller in its final half-hour", otherwise boasting a "gritty charm and sense of purpose often lacking in Spanish thrillers".[3]
A. B. of El Mundo gave the film a 2-star rating, writing that while "sparking interest in its first part", it eventually "succumbs to the weakness of a script that resorts to clichés".[10]
