Critics praised Calle's performance, action, and score, but criticized its "needless predictability", long runtime of 160 minutes, and the overly graphic blood. Audiences were more raving about the film than just positive, citing Calle's ability to drive the plot forward without appearing weak. A sequel is in development.
