      Reception


      A review in Video Business said, "The film contains nothing you haven't seen before; in fact, the torpid fight choreography, familiar Southern California locations, and hokey sound effects call to mind numerous '70s B flicks. But Ray knows what action-film renters crave, and he hasn't missed a trick."
      According to a reviewer at Moria Reviews, "Fred Olen Ray’s action scenes... are competent, especially the fight scenes aboard and around the train" but "on the minus side, Prophet is severely lacking in the script department."
