REVIEWS RATE: Critics Readers Be the 1st!

“..the minimalism feels a bit affected, but as a near-abstract rumination on war and survival, it has a certain stark potency..”

by Tim Robey [Daily Telegraph]

“..striking cinematography and an internalised perspective makes this wartime thriller worth a look..”

by Rich Cline [Shadows on the Wall]

“..itâ€™s probably best, though, to view it as existential thriller illustrating how violence begets violence..”

by Peter Howell [Toronto Star]

“..effectively presents his nearly anonymous antihero as both hunter and prey, never asking - or expecting..”

by Gary Goldstein [LA Times]

“..delivers a laudably physical performance..”

by David Parkinson [Empire Magazine]

“..a purely physical performance that, in the picture's pockmarks of baleful humor, has something of a silent clown's wariness..”

by Fernando F. Croce [Slant Magazine]
