John J. Puccio of DVD Town gave the film a mixed review , writing , " Apart from the interview interruptions , one can not fault the way the actual shoot-out is handled in the film , although that does n't make it any the less frustrating , real or not . ... What we have is good enough for a television broadcast , but maybe not enough for anything but a rental on DVD .
