 The film screened at festivals around the world, garnering awards and award nominations along with very positive critical reviews.In particular, a review from the Cine Fantastico festival in Estepona, Spain, suggested that the film may be the best ever made in the traditionally Mexican lucha genre, despite being produced in the United States.Reviews from major film critics were similarly positive, with PopMatters' Bill Gibron calling it "amazing movie entertainment... rivals any super hero film made in the mainstream" and M. J. Simpson giving it an 'A' (the highest letter grade).
