| Comments | Steve Butler is sent to a small American town to sign, seal and 'deliver' it to his big corporation in order to 'rape' the land for its gas potential. Steve crosses his 'Rubicon' when he realises the corporation only has money and profit on its mind and not the quaint American way of life that exists in the small town. |

| Cape Argus / The Star Diane De Beer  Film does not deliver on its promise. | 5 |  |
| Die Burger Paul Boekkooi | 15 |  |
| Cape Times Todd McCarthy Presents environmental concerns in a clear manner but hits some narrative and character bumps in the second half. | 10 |  |
| ScreenIt C. Fuchs Aside from that aforementioned twist near the end of the film, I found the offering enjoyable, entertaining and surprisingly fair in terms of presenting believable if opposing sides to a controversial topic. If only the filmmakers had resisted the temptation to give in and turn various shades of gray into definite black and white. | 14 | |
