Reception

The film received negative reviews and has a 7% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 15 reviews, with an average rating of 2.3/10.[4]

Alison Willmore of The A.V. Club called the film as an "amusingly awful thriller"[5] and Drew Taylor of IndieWire called it "a bad movie with incredibly clumsy narrative mechanics."[6]

Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "The action sequences are strictly pro forma and -- despite the sleek killer’s resemblance to the similarly lethal heroine of La Femme Nikita -- this dull effort lacks the excitement generated by any of its incarnations."[7]

Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a C.[8]

gollark: I'm using `warp`, which has nice HTTP combinatory things which are also glacially slow to compile, `sqlx`, which type-checks SQL queries at compile time but is also probably quite slow, and `horrorshow`, a compile-time HTML templating library.
gollark: Well, I use a lot of compile-time stuff like macros, and rustc is not very fast.
gollark: It's a small project currently.
gollark: > only 195 :GWlulurdWaitWhat:Yes, that is correct.
gollark: > my current project can compile itself in 300 ms so that's niceClearly I must rewrite all my stuff in your current project.
