Critical response
Justino Dormiendo of the Manila Standard gave the film a negative review, considering it to be "totally boring [...] from beginning to end." He criticized the main group of antagonists, the Red Hand Gang, as "cardboard characters" that lack a satisfactory explanation in why they kill people, and stated that the performances of Alarcon, Barretto, and the actors for the said gang "fail to rise above the mundane." Dormiendo concluded that "[f]or an action film, Jerry Marasigan WPD has been sapped of imagination."[4]
