After defeating them, in a jail cell he finds Nina (Mađarević), his former lover, whose death was faked by the Director (Smiljanić).

Dragan Antulov of Index.hr, a Croatian daily tabloid, was less enthusiastic about the movie, citing its one-dimensionality and having a low opinion about its directing and special effects, comparing quality of the latter to "'futuristic' TV shows made in former Yugoslavia during the 1980s." Dustin Somner for Blu-ray.com reviewed the audio and video quality of the film's Blu-ray release, giving it 0.5 stars out of 5, saying the "film sounds like it was made 40 years ago."
