Response from the press was split, although the\nmovie received a few more positive write-ups than negative ones. Those who disliked\nit said that the story contained little in the way of dramatic tension and said\nit resorted to mushy hokum to elicit empathy on the part of the viewer.

A small group of them were so impressed by the physical\nfeats on display that they forgave the film\u2019s storytelling issues.
