Critical reception
[edit]Writing in AllMovie, critic Hal Erickson described the film as "suspiciously like a standard kidnap drama, rewritten to conform with the 'juvenile delinquent' cycle of the late 1950s," and noted that director "William Witney struggles manfully to inject some excitement into the plodding plotline."[4] A review of the film at Nostalgia Central described it as a "typical ‘juvenile delinquent’ film of the period featuring lots of moralising and melodramatic over-acting from 'teens' in their late 20s or early 30s," and noted that although the film "was clearly made on a shoestring budget [...] the story offers plenty of action, good direction (William Witney is one of Quentin Tarantino’s favourite directors) and a solid pace."[5]
