Reception
The critics praised the actors and the film's visual style, but found it lacking in energy and suffering from an overly complicated plot towards the end.
Tranquilizer Gun did not find success either at the Pula Film Festival or the Croatian box office - partly due to inadequate promotion - but received the 1998 Oktavijan Award from the Croatian Association of Film Critics.
