Nick Schager Film Journal International Jul 3, 2014
A cheeseball B-movie about a woman and a girl combating arms dealers in the African desert that fails to generate suspense, excitement, or even unintentional B-movie laughs. Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Jul 1, 2016

An uneven but entertaining look at the animal in all of us. Go to Full Review Prairie Miller NewsBlaze Jul 9, 2014
