The result is a blending of influences into a bloody Tarantino-esque delight.

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

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
