Reception
James Oster of Arrow in the Head gave the film a score of 3.5/4 and called it a "surprisingly effective low budget action flick that has a huge hard-on for gore and aggression". Oster praised the "solid" cast, highlighting the performances of Rendell and Barnes.[2] Chris Alexander of Fangoria gave the film a score of 3/4 and stated: "The FX are fantastic, and so much fluid is spilled that I had to take a shower afterwards. Every time a performance starts to grate, or a line of dialogue makes you cringe, something sharp tears into something soft and things get hyper-red."[3] Jeremy Blitz of DVD Talk gave the film a score of 3/5 and opined that it is "quite well done, considering its constraints, and offers up an hour and a half of action, thrills, pathos and redemption, of a sort."[4] The Daily Mirror wrote that the film uses violence "less for gratuitous effect but more to provoke reaction in a public numbed by a never-endingly generic raft of staple thrillers."[1]
