Critical response
Denise McIver of Variety panned the film, writing: "The most disturbing thing about this two-hour cable telefilm is its cynicism and the fact that none of the characters seemed redeemed, or at least changed, by their experiences. This is not to say it won’t hold one’s interest, if only for the scenario, which delivers lots of bare backs, naked legs and superficially steamy sex scenes."[1] Glenn Kenny alternately praised the film, writing: "Despite Rubdown's multiple improbabilities, this story of murder and faked identities is surprisingly absorbing, mostly due to its sassy dialogue."[2]
