Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. Geoffrey Broomer – ★★★☆☆
   “The second last of Amir Shervan’s American action films – Gypsy was made right before the Persian director’s cult classic, Samurai Cop. Here Shervan takes the social studies skills he used to explore Japanese warriors working in law enforcement, and instead takes aim at the American Gypsy. Though not half as absurd as his more infamous work, there is an undeniable charm in the similar symptoms playing out against a more grounded reality.”
2. Curtis – ★★½☆☆
   “Gypsy is Amir Shervan’s unintentional strengths and damning weaknesses in a prickly, 100-minute mass. There are momentary flashes of what will come, that glorious artlessness that would bring him to every B-movie fan’s attention. But the atmosphere surrounding those moments is too heavy and inert for anything to catch.”
3. Rob Hill – ★★½☆☆
   “The movie Samurai Cop could have been, but fortunately isn’t. This is the one American Amir Shervan offering I hadn’t seen and it’s probably his least entertaining, but it’s fascinating how distinctly him it is.”
