The film's confusing title history involves four working titles and an international release under the name Steal. A bleached-blonde Stephen Dorff plays Slim, the leader of an extreme sports criminal gang, consisting of Alex (Karen Cliche), Frank (Steven McCarthy), and Otis (Clé Bennett). They wear stylish clothes, rob banks, and get away on rollerblades. Slim's group is pursued by crazed cop Jake Macgruder (Bruce Payne) and Southern-style villain Surtayne (Steven Berkoff). She Spies actress Natasha Henstridge stars as femme fatale Karen. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

Tony Whitt, Now Playing Magazine
Dorff and Henstridge rise above the material and turn in performances good enough to keep us watching.

John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
...a bunch of people in cars (and trucks and Rollerblades) chasing after one another.
-
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...a sporadically infuriating experience...
