Reception
From contemporary reviews, "Lor." of Variety called the film "a minor action drama", writing that a "good cast is mired in routine scripting." TV Guide criticized the film's script as "clumsy" and "loaded with lackluster dialog and stock characters." Leonard Maltin called it "slow, unconvincing, and instantly forgettable."
