Reception
The 'Vancouver Sun' said "the unlikely romance between Wagner and his stripper hostage, played by Nancy Everhard, never ignites. Wagner's cold and wooden presence only makes Everhard's efforts to seduce him appear ridiculously contrived." The reviewer added what makes the fl "worth watching is a wonderful performance by John Harkins."Johnston, Christopher. The Vancouver Sun; Vancouver, B.C. [Vancouver, B.C]02 Jan 1992: C10.
The 'Chicago Tribune' wrote "Many viewers may, in fact, find themselves made uncomfortable as they watch the sleek and sophisticated Wagner try to get down and dirty."Shooting blanks Robert Wagner misses the mark in USA's `Gun': [NORTH SPORTS FINAL, C Edition]
