Critics Consensus

Mojave has no shortage of talent on either side of the camera; unfortunately, it amounts to little more than a frustrating missed opportunity.

As failures go, Mojave is a pretty interesting one. But it's a failure nonetheless.

3/5

Isaac is charming and bonhomous as ever, Hedlund is suitably brooding yet dim looking, and Mark Wahlberg is a hoot as a chippy producer perpetually playing host to bored prostitutes.

…hard-boiled and deliberately alienating, Mojave is also as tough and uncompromising as the desert from which it takes its name…

1.5/4

Monahan's basic setup has possibility, but his film falls short by failing to generate any empathy whatsoever in his potentially stirring cat-and-mouse thriller.

[The acting is] not enough to redeem this story that crawls off without much impact, making it completely unthrilling and basically forgettable.

Yes the word brother was overused but not sure why this has such a low score. Aside from how Oscar's character got some of the addresses, I liked this. Good reasoning and ending. Good acting and tone. Nice touch that Mark Wahlberg is in it too. Kept me interested the in all but about the first 15 min. Give it a bit to get started. I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars!

Why are half the reviews about something called "Everlasting", this movie is Mojave.... Should've named it "Listen here, Brother" and I would've liked it alot more, literally every piece of dialogue in this movie ends with "Brother". I should also mention that outside of hearing the word Brother 1000 times you won't enjoy the movie because it sucks.

It was too existential - a man is facing his own demons in the desert. He stumbles upon someone dealing with life and death as well. But it's really just misses the marker.

For me, I liked the darkness of the story. This movie has no real protraganist Maybe a lot of people don't like that

I loved this so much! Reminded me of Cormac McCarthy for some reason. Absolutely cannot believe why the reviews are so yuck.
