Reception
The film has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on five reviews.
Bobby LePire of Film Threat rated the film a 9.5 out of 10 and wrote, "But if one doesn’t mind some odd moments, then Parker’s motion picture will scratch that neo-noir itch in the best possible way."
Michael Talbot-Haynes, also of Film Threat, rated the film a 7 out of 10 and wrote, "Sure, Atrabilious has flaws and shortcomings, but the promise shown here is unmistakable."
High on films wrote it was, "An intriguing premise marred by lackluster execution". Another review praised the 'gritty' atmosphere of the film but admitted the plotline could be confusing.
