Reception
The film received negative reviews and has a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.[4]
Alison Willmore of The A.V. Club called the film as an "amusingly awful thriller"[5] and Drew Taylor of IndieWire called it "a bad movie with incredibly clumsy narrative mechanics."[6]
Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "The action sequences are strictly pro forma and -- despite the sleek killer’s resemblance to the similarly lethal heroine of La Femme Nikita -- this dull effort lacks the excitement generated by any of its incarnations."[7]
Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a C.[8]
