  • Critical reception

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