Critic Reviews:
- “The jungle scenes, shot in Queensland, are well staged and genuinely suspenseful and McConville's performance is impressive. The film was clearly made on a modest budget, and, taking that into account, it is pretty impressive.” – The Australian
- “…Escape And Evasion is a cinematic tour of duty worth taking.” – FILMINK (Australia)
