Critical response

Lav Diaz, writing for the Manila Standard, gave Sandakot Na Bala a positive review, commending the film's thematic focus on the adverse psychological effects of gun violence on an individual.[3] He also gave praise to director Jose N. Carreon for handling action sequences well in his directorial debut.[3] Justino Dormiendo of the National Midweek also applauded Carreon's "impressive" initial directorial effort for being "an insightful look at the culture of violence and its debilitating effects on the young mind."[4]
