Reception edit
SteveQ from the blog "Down Among the Z Movies" called "The Kill Reflex", Williamson's worst movie and wrote: "Fred Williamson has been in a number of entertaining blaxploitation films, but this one, which he also directed, is a mess."[1] In the website "Bulletproof Action", the reviewer stated: "Soda Cracker is not going to win any sort of groundbreaking trailblazer awards. It features elements we have seen time and time again in cop related action flicks and unless you are a big Fred Williamson fan, I wouldn’t go out of my way to watch Soda Cracker. This one is nestled right in between below average and not worth watching."[2]
