Reception

The film has a 9% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 11 reviews.[4]

Julian Roman of MovieWeb gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Pursuit is a bloody and twisted pulp actioner with an insane body count.(...) The film has a spectacularly convoluted plot but keeps the adrenaline pumping with gritty action scenes."[5]

Lisa Kennedy of The New York Times gave the film a mixed review and wrote, "In a previous era, this action thriller, directed by Brian Skiba, would have gone from postproduction directly into a bargain bin at a rundown video emporium on a dark alley where rats scurried."[6]
