Reception
Michael Talbot-Haynes of Film Threat gave the film a score of 8/10 and called it a "tight thriller, effectively balancing the intense action with truly affecting dramatic moments."1
Tom Meek of Cambridge Day rated the film 2.5 out of 4 stars and wrote: "Blue-on-Black violence gets put under the microscope here, shining a light on some of the nuances, municipal shenanigans and complications of deadly police response and the tangled process of justice."2
Lapacanzo Sandoval of the New York Amsterdam News wrote that the film "has high ambitions but a very weak story with performances that do nothing to help shape this film" and called it a "look into the dull, boring, uninspired life of the guilty cop with no revelations at all."3
