- 60Village VoiceChris KlimekVillage VoiceChris KlimekForsman — whose loose inspiration was Snowblind, a 1976 memoir by his retired drug-smuggler father — brings a refreshing crispness to the foot chases and fights, and there's a fun cameo that supports the retro-'80s vibe nicely.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe convoluted, cliché-ridden storyline, apparently inspired by the director’s father’s real-life experiences in the drug trade, is the least interesting element, while the brief, perfunctory action sequences no doubt reflect the low budget. But the film certainly looks and sounds good.
- 40Los Angeles TimesInkoo KangLos Angeles TimesInkoo KangIt's so predictable in its beats and pedestrian in its execution that a viewer can slip in and out of consciousness, confident she won't miss much and will know exactly where in the story she is when she awakes.
- 30VarietyPeter LabuzaVarietyPeter LabuzaRelying on a synthesized score, over-saturated cinematography and frustratingly cliched dialogue, this is an extremely generic, truly empty tale of a drug smuggler involved with cops and criminals alike.
