 Todd McCarthy, writing for "The Hollywood Reporter", said the film was "a narratively ambitious sci-fi actioner" that "takes a relatively playful attitude toward the familiar battle tropes".McCarthy said that, despite the humor, he found the time loop premise "tedious" and that "the final stretch becomes dramatically unconvincing and visually murky".However, he also called the effects "exciting, convincing and gritty" and applauded Gleeson and Paxton in their supporting roles.
