Dalton reflects on the film's development, going back to the late 1990s with potential casting of Harrison Ford, Clint Eastwood or Sean Connery. Of Smith's casting, the critic says the film is "a vehicle for Smith to try and reboot his faltering action superstar status" and plants the actor "dangerously close to Liam Neeson and Nicolas Cage in the midlife action-man league.

Thankfully, the showing is completely empty apart from this one suspicious person, so any damage inflicted will be minimal. Still, it’s scary to think there are people like this out there.” At press time, local police were seen dragging the patron out of the theater after he had escalated concerns by staying to watch the film’s closing credits.
