Reception[edit]
TV Guide described the film as a "gritty crime thriller",[3] while a German review stated, "Although it seems painfully boring, in several scenes there is also a “convulsive” attempt to inject something like “profundity” into the events, which always makes you laugh out loud. This reaction inevitably comes to light in a secondary plot line that revolves around the so-called “Cupid Killer”, who dresses up as a “Grim Reaper” on roller skates (!) and kills his victims with arrows from a tranquilizer gun (!!!)... By the way, the viewer never finds out why and wherefore."[4] FilmDienst found that it was a "mediocre thriller that wants to improve its image with a small star role for Mickey Rourke."[5]
The Tuscaloosa News called the film "something of a modern Les Misérables".[6]
