Reception

The film has a 71% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.[4]

Simon Abrams of RogerEbert.com awarded the film two stars and wrote, "Nobody in this movie has a complex inner emotional life, so it’s not surprising that the movie’s ending is ridiculous."[5]

Dennis Harvey of Variety gave the film a positive review and described it as "brisk yet flavorful, gritty even when stylish, its occasional plot-logic leap smoothed over by a tone that deftly balances a resigned good humor with violent threat..."[6]
