Reception
[edit]Elias Savada of Film Threat wrote a positive review of the film.[1]
The New Zealand Herald rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and called it a "Tidy but colourless adaptation of a rocking good story".[2]
Graeme Tuckett of Stuff wrote that while the cast, especially Whelan and Crawley, "give it their all", the film is "without credible dialogue, better drawn characters, and a bit more confidence and swagger in the directors' chair".[3]
