By August 1989 the movie had gone into post production status.

      Reception


      Roger Taylor of the Casper Star-Tribune panned the film, stating that "The viewers could almost feel embarrassment for the professionals who appeared in it if it weren't for the fact that Jon Voight is given partial credit for the screenplay."
