Feedback from the international audience has been overwhelmingly positive, with Twitter becoming a hotspot for rave reviews. One user described the film as a "Blockbuster Action+Comedy Thriller," praising its unique blend of friendship dynamics, high-octane action sequences, sharp humor, and a compelling villain.
