Reception
The Movie Scene stated: "What this all boils down to is that "Desperate Rescue: The Cathy Mahone Story" is entertaining in a typical made for TV way but it is a story which to me probably has the greatest power for those close to the people involved and like some true story movies it doesn't translate well for those who stumble across it who don't know the ins and outs of the true story".{{cite web|title=Desperate Rescue: The Cathy Mahone Story (1993)|url=http://www.themoviescene.co.uk/reviews/desperate-rescue-1993/desperate-rescue-1993.html|website=The Movie Scene|accessdate=4 April 2017|archive-date=10 June 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170610095824/http://themoviescene.co.uk/reviews/desperate-rescue-1993/desperate-rescue-1993.html|url-status=live}}
