Critical response

Justino Dormiendo, writing for the 'Manila Standard', gave the film an extremely negative review, stating that it is "more empty (but noisy) posturing in the local action genre." In addition to his criticisms toward the lack of "intelligent dialogue", he severely criticized the film's "theater of cruelty" and the filmmakers' blatant violation of the instructions from "censors" to remove or shorten seven violent parts of the film by keeping them in, writing that "I left the theater feeling devastated, dehumanized, and degraded by a bunch of sadists on the screen and the perpetrators behind it."
