On IMDb, it has a rating of 3.8/10 from user reviews, pointing to general audience dissatisfaction. Critics have cited the film's convoluted plot, underdeveloped characters, and excessive violence as major drawbacks. The Guardian noted that the movie "is weighed down by a muddled storyline and fails to capitalize on its high-concept premise."
