After the release of the trailer, the picture was considered one of the most interesting releases of the year, however, after the release of the film, the film was defeated by film critics. The audience was also not enthusiastic about the picture, with a budget of ten million dollars, its fees amounted to slightly less than five. However, acting, and in particular the game of Liberer, many critics praised. The main problem of the film was an illogical scenario.
Future projects

Also, the actor will play a major role in the independent drama "Low Tide".
