Reception
The film is listed by WhatCulture as part of the "tidal wave of garbage" in Hogan's acting career.[4]
A contemporary review calls the film "a dim-witted riff on True Lies".[5] The Lexikon des internationalen Films states: "A James Bond adventure for children was probably the starting point for this film, but incompetent actors, a miserable script, inferior tricks and great lack of craftsmanship make this idea worthless. Only the cynicism of the filmmakers is visible."[6]
