Reception
Dave Nuttycombe of 'Washington City Paper' wrote in his review, "Actors may take their names off a film, but their breasts remain. The box, the ads, and my photographic memory of her perky curvaceousness from previous DTV efforts all say that Kari Wuhrer is in this film. The opening credits read Kari Salin. If the ex-videotrix was unhappy playing a toe-sucking, whip-cracking whore, she might have raised objections while reading the script. Maybe she balked after filming scenes with a shirtless Burt Young (he's in surprisingly good shape, but still...). And while her impressive body does much of the storytelling, Kari's never fully exposed and gets lines like, 'You're not going to pout all day for being an accessory to murder, are you?'"
In his 2015 book 'Spinegrinder: The Movies Most Critics Wont Write About', author Clive Davies called it a "a useless road movie that isn't really a sequel".
