Reviews:
“It makes an effort but sometimes it undeniably comes through that the film is operating on a lesser budget. In the flashback scenes, for instance, it is not clear when in the past the events were meant to be taking place but the very contemporary hairstyles and clothing of the actors tend to break the illusion. The cast is generally okay with Maurice Demus showing promise.” Moria
