Reception

Robert Daniels of The New York Times called it "A tactical and efficient film", describing it as "a throwback to Commando" starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
On Radio Times, James Mottram rated it 2/5 stars saying that the films is "complete with murky, night-vision-tinged visuals, it's all action and precious little character development."
Tyler Nichols of JoBlo.com wrote that "this is a simple story about a group of 'good guys' entering a war-torn country and saving a hostage. And it’s surprisingly good."
