Critical reception
The Radio Times Guide to Films gave the film 2/5 stars, writing: "Before his premature death in 1980, British director Peter Collinson achieved a certain notoriety with a ragbag of action adventures like this one, set and filmed in Israel. It's not surprising to find Oliver Reed and Gayle Hunnicutt on hand, since they tended to prop up international co-productions on attractive locations, but sad to see Richard Widmark slumming it. This would-be thriller about spies brings credit to no one, and the film's pace is leaden."[2]
Leslie Halliwell said: "Unsmiling spy melodrama with a complex plot, a bagful of clichés and some unnecessarily unpleasant violence."[3]
