The Ringer

Excellently shot and acted, and gutsy enough to not cop out when it counts, Calibre is one of the year's best genre efforts.

Guardian

Feels simultaneously familiar and fresh, just like a good, solid bout of genre-tweaking should do.

Rated: 4/5

Neil Young

The Hollywood Reporter

Calibre [has] a pungent, intriguing layer of ambiguity that only sharpens the acute pain of the awful events so skillfully depicted.

Alistair Lawrence

Common Sense Media

Packed into the pressure cooker of a remote rural community that's fallen on hard times, Calibre boasts a title that's a neat play on words as well as a couple of breakout performances.

Howard Gorman

NME (New Musical Express)

The premise of Palmer's feature debut might be nothing new but it navigates its well-trodden territory amazingly well by deep diving into the relationships between old friends and new acquaintances in the quaint-yet-oppressive village setting.

A completely unexpected, twisted film that builds tension in terrifying fashion, leaving you mentally drained and conflicted by the end.

Great acting in a very intense thriller with several shocking moments. Seemed very realistic for having such a dark, moral-testing storyline.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

The film itself is a good watch but, being ultra picky, maybe some research as to how bullets deform when they hit a target was needed. No way would they have been pristine and still the same shape when dug out of the target as they appear in the film. Call a film “calibre”…. research ballistics first!!!!!!

This movie was about useless to watch until about an hour and 10 minutes in. It was really slow for most of it. The acting was good, no complaints there, the ending was okay. It was just not that great of a story in my opinion. It was a good concept but boring way to present it.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Seemingly thrilling but fails to make a realistic story. Unbelievable stupendous decisions of main characters and no sense of fulfillment at the end of the movie. I was hoping for a good making plottwist at the end. But the ending even made it worse. Dear reader, do not watch this movie.
