Noel Murray Los Angeles Times This is the kind of movie that connoisseurs of over-the-top action like to seek out. Apr 24, 2023 Full Review Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) I enjoyed it quite a bit! Apr 24, 2023 Full Review Josiah Teal Film Threat The result is a blending of influences into a bloody Tarantino-esque delight. Rated: 7.5/10 Jun 21, 2023 Full Review Andy Klein FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) I loved this film and was totally charmed by it. Apr 24, 2023 Full Review Aaron Neuwirth We Live Entertainment Incredibly stylish, occasionally bloody, and full of dark humor, in the realm of Grindhouse attempts, there’s fun to be had here. Rated: 6/10 Apr 16, 2023 Full Review Jonathan W. Hickman The Newnan Times-Herald Writer/director Perfilyev finds success in his film’s endless energy and a constantly moving camera, but one that takes a moment to pause on a few beautiful images. Rated: 7/10 Apr 14, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
