This delay brought about solid members Brady Midday and Jensen Ackles to drop out of the film (they have been changed by, respectively, Patrick Scott McDermott and Josh Hopkins), however Souza and firm dragged the movie throughout the end line and screened it on the Camerimage movie pageant on November 20, 2024. The movie acquired a muted response, with some viewers feeling that it was troublesome to guage the movie by itself deserves as a result of each little bit of gunplay within the film reminded them of the tragedy that killed Hutchins.
