Neil Young of 'The Hollywood Reporter' referred to the film as "borderline incoherent" stating that after all the double and triple crosses in the film, it was nearly impossible to follow without knowledge of the source material. Allan Hunter of 'Screen Daily' shared similar ideas, opining that the film had "style to burn" and that it was a "a film of almost delirious excess" and that noted that if it mattered if the audience doesn't care for any of the characters, finding it a "intoxicating aspect of watching a team so in single-minded and in control of their filmmaking technique. After a while, though, it does start to ring hollow."
