• Noted for David L. Lander's surprisingly effective dramatic performance.

• Often criticized for a predictable plot and underdeveloped characters.

Google audience: Audience reception for Amnesty is largely absent due to its obscurity. Limited available comments suggest a mixed to negative view, with some viewers finding it a watchable, albeit forgettable, B-movie, while others found it to be a poorly executed action film.
