Reception
Raquel Hernández Luján of HobbyConsolas rated the "simple and efficient" film 70 out of 100 points ("good"), citing the "unstoppable" pace of the narration, the chase sequences and the ending among the best things about it, while drawing out "superfluous additions" detracting from the story, such as the street dance scene, as the worst elements of the film.[10]
