The movie has received mixed reviews. While some have praised its action sequences and performances, especially by Nick Chinlund, others have critiqued it for lacking depth and originality in its storyline. Scott Eastwood’s performance, in particular, has been a point of discussion, with comparisons drawn to his father’s style. The film’s portrayal of the grim realities of drug cartels and its impact on the youth is a central theme, yet some viewers have found the plot execution to be slow-paced.
