Roger Ebert gave the film two stars (out of four), saying that he "enjoyed the movie" but felt that it "exploits K. Dick's story for its action and plot potential, but never really develops it." K. J. Doughton of Film Threat called the film "John Woo lite," and a "neutered variation on his earlier, superior works." James Berardinelli gave the film one and a half stars out of four, calling it "a bad film, complete with lackluster acting, brainless writing, and uninspired direction."
