Austin Chronicle

These aspects provide the film with a novel focus, even though all of its events are entirely predictable.

Rated: 2/5

If you can't guess where these "Crooked Arrows" are going, you aren't getting out enough. But Routh is wonderfully light and laid back here, perhaps thanks to the low stakes this tiny film has.

Rated: 2/4

Globe and Mail

An entirely predictable script that chugs along to the foregone loser-beats-odds conclusion.

Epoch Times

It's a warm-hearted little movie. It may have a ton of Native American cinematic clichés-dream sequences with staccato wooden flutes, soaring eagles, and so on-but it works.

Rated: 3.5/5

Common Sense Media

This attempt at a drama is pretty routine, but it demonstrates why some clichs became clichs: because they work. [It's] basically The Bad News Bears without all of the humor, though the tone is still fairly light.

Rated: 3/5

This sports drama was really good. Brandon Routh, Gil Birmingham, Crystal Allen, and the rest of the cast did an excellent job in this movie. The plot to the movie was inspirational, dramatic, and heartfelt. It's about finding your true spirit and overcoming the odds. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. It's worth watching.
