Reception

The Hollywood Reporter praised the character, calling her "plucky",[2] while Jason Adams of JoBlo.com wrote that the character was "likable as the heroine despite being saddled with the straight and serious role".[3]

Other responses were less laudatory; in a review on Den of Geek, David Crow wrote: "King tries her hardest to keep the movie afloat. She believably portrays a woman haunted by a past mistake that she wants to make amends for. However, her talent is wasted in a movie that only uses her as a bridge between set pieces".[4]
