Reception

Anton Bitel of SciFiNow wrote that while the film "comes very slickly packaged", the dialogue is "perfunctory at best", the "cat-and-mouse, cop vs killer mechanics are entirely generic" and the female characters are "mere foils for Jeff".[1]

Jeffrey Anderson of Common Sense Media rated the film 1 star out of 5 and wrote that Seri "has delivered a good-looking Los Angeles noir that quickly becomes nearly unwatchable, thanks to wonky dialogue, shrill performances, a flat story, and overbearing music."[2]

Sheila O'Malley of RogerEbert.com rated the film 1 star out of 4 and called the film a "bizarre series of cliché after cliché, with no real work done to fill in the blanks with complexity, nuance, or even basic human reality."[3]
