It is Magán's directorial debut.[1]
The film was released in the United States on May 8, 2020 on video-on-demand and digital platforms.[1][2]
Tara McNamara of Common Sense Media awarded the film one star out of five.[3]
Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Director Magán displays no flair for action sequences, although the budgetary limitations obviously didn't help. Nor does he successfully pull off the dramatic scenes, including one in which Rourke delivers an anguished, tearful monologue that plays like a decades-old Actors Studio audition piece and nearly erases all memories of his sensitive work in such films as Diner and The Wrestler."[4]
