Reception
Javier Ocaña of El País assessed that the film incorporates vulgar dialogue and "laughable sequences that look like something out of a bad Guy Ritchie movie", otherwise featuring such a degree of gratuitous violence that it ends up being "torture porn without quality".[8]
Sergio F. Pinilla of Cinemanía rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, considering that it "entertains, but pales in comparison to the original film".[9]
