According to Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a score of 30%, indicating a generally unfavorable reception among critics. The website summarized that while the movie has its moments of action and flair, 'it struggles with pacing and character development.' IMDb users rated it a modest 5.2/10, which reflects a divide between audience expectations and the film's delivery. Some reviewers praised Chad Michael Murray's performance, with one stating, 'He brings a youthful exuberance that anchors the film amidst its chaos.' On the other hand, others found the storyline convoluted, mentioning that 'the plot feels like a disjointed collection of clichés rather than a cohesive narrative.' Metacritic assigned the film a score of 46, which further establishes the critique that while it offers engaging visuals and action sequences, it ultimately fails to resonate deeply with viewers.
