Critical reception

Allmovie wrote, "this British crime quickie reads rather better than it plays";[3] while TV Guide wrote that the film is "hampered by some less-than-impressive camerawork";[4] but Sky Movies noted "a crisp thriller, economic in length but correspondingly fast in pace and actionful." [5]
