Walter Hill's first outright failure.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Rotten
What's ultimately missing is a definable point of view which would tie together the myriad events on display and fill in the blanks which Hill has imposed on the action by sapping it of emotional or historical meaning.

A beautiful, laconic and unsentimental film.
