Reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A harsh, lucid and semi-documentary method, combined with rapidly paced cutting, give this thriller more than usual tension. No gloss is cast over the absence of moral sense in the criminals, and their pursuers are shown in a scarcely more favourable light; the story has a tang of vicious reality and certainly succeeds in inducing nervous pressure. A "B" picture with a distinct flavour."[9]
