Reception
A reviewer for ManlyMovie.net praised the direction and Seagal's acting, hailing it as "Seagal’s best movie since Exit Wounds." However, he was critical of the special effects, writing that the CGI blood was "the worst I’ve ever seen actually, almost like it may have even been done using over the counter software like Adobe After Effects."[3]
