Reception
Newsday called it "slow and plodding".[3] The Miami Herald felt the direction "had a few uncertain moments in the beginning but ultimately built the story's suspense very excitingly."[4] The Daily News felt "much" of the original story "was lost in mere melodramatic action. However enough came over to hold the viewer."[5]
