Reception

The film has a 25% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on twelve reviews.[2]

Todd Gilchrist of Variety gave the film a positive review, writing, "Nevertheless smarter and more entertaining than one might expect from a small-scale, outwardly familiar story like this, Ambush feels like a throwback — mostly in a good way — to the ‘Namsploitation films that companies like Cannon churned out in the 1980s, when stories about the war were at their most commercially popular."[3]

Julian Roman of MovieWeb gave the film a negative review, writing, "The film vacillates between gritty combat, the brotherhood of soldiers, and a labored plot with critical issues. Pacing also becomes a factor during a prolonged and indiscernible subterranean second act."[4]
