Reception edit
Scott Weinberg of DVD Talk said that although the film is not entirely successful, credit is due the writers/directors for their original script.[2] Sid Smith of the Chicago Tribune ended his review by saying that viewers are likely to leave with something to think about.[1] Robert Koehler of Variety commented on James Morrison, "a superb, nuanced and inexplicably underused actor on the big screen, is able to shift between vulnerability and being a real threat in the physically contained yet wide-ranging role."[3]
