Critical response[]

Justino Dormiendo, writing for the Manila Standard, gave the film a positive review. Though he found it to be compromised by "formula filmmaking," he commended the film's well-staged action scenes, "literate dialogue" and the "convincing" performances of Salvador, Cruz and Diaz, leading him to consider that the film "acquits itself exceedingly well." Dormiendo concluded that "We can only hope that the next time Salvador and company flex their cinematic muscles, the territory would be less than compromising..."[1]
