Reception
The film has received mixed reviews from critics.
H. Perry Horton of film-centric blog CommittedCommitted gave the film a positive review, praising lead actors Jaz Martin and AnnaMaria DeMara. He also praised the film for having "a lot of heart for an action flick, more heart, in fact, than most of the F&F films, without sacrificing action."
Noel Anderson of Goof RoofGoof Roof also gave the film a positive review, praising actors Hennely Jimenez and Paul Logan, and stating that "if you like furious displays of vehicular fury and strippers then this movie is a win win for you."
Christopher Armstead of Film Critics UnitedFilm Critics United described the film as "tolerable" as far as films released by The Asylum. He cited bad acting except for Darren Thomas, Paul Logan, and Tommy Nash. Armstead stated the movie "wasn’t all that bad all things considered. The car racing scenes, minus the CGI cutaways, were far better than I expected them to be."
Trevor Anderson of Movie MavericksMovie Mavericks gave the film a mixed review, citing unnecessary cursing and nudity, and the CGI. The review, however, praised director Cole McKay for good acting from the actors and well-framed shots. Zedrick Restauro and Jared Kahn were commended for adding "a much needed spark to the group dynamic, particularly in the scene where they steal a car from an impound lot." Tommy Nash was described as the one that "shines the brightest", even though he is only in the movie for the first fifteen minutes.
