Reception
Eoin Friel from The Action Elite website gave the film 3.5 stars out of 5, writing that "overall, despite a slow start, Misfire is an engaging action thriller with a first rate performance from Gary Daniels and there is enough action to please genre fans".[1] Friel particularly praised Vasquez's role as Gracie, noting that she "is jaw-droppingly gorgeous and incredibly likeable [...]; she managed to be tough and sympathetic which isn’t easy to pull off".[1]
James Simpson from Infernal Cinema wrote: "Entertaining and exciting in places due to its action scenes, Misfire is a short and sweet affair".[2] Simpson noted that "Misfire appears to be part of a new wave of action and thriller movies that have cropped up since The Bourne Identity".[2]
