Critical reaction

Nine dead bodies. Twelve breasts. Blood-drinking. Wrist-slitting. Two bodies flung through plate-glass windows. Hooker torture. Exploding house. Four motor vehicle chases, with four crashes, explosion and fireball. Drive-In Academy Award nominations for Michael Ironside, as the you-know-who, for saying "Whose body would you like to hold next to you in bed, while the other lies rotting in a grave?" Two and a half stars.

Joe Bob says check it out.[2]


Reviewers in this genre very often focus on numbers. The numbers of people killed; The numbers of exposed body parts; The number of explosions;

Seriously I’ve never seen such a dull movie. There isn’t a single scene in the movie that feels at all natural. The entire movie feels staged and awkward, especially the love scenes that are just terrible.

Bloodtype online --John "El Juan" Shatzer

are all very important aspects of the review of a low budget action picture. But some reviewers demand more. El Juan Shatzer of Bloodtype Online was disappointed that the talented cast was wasted on a tepid script and flat direction by David A. Prior. None of those shortcomings prevented Joe Bob Briggs from recommending it
