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. Go to Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian 03/24/2016
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. Go to Full Review Kevin Maher The Times (UK) 03/24/2016

Mojave is deeply annoying. Go to Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com 05/31/2022

…hard-boiled and deliberately alienating, Mojave is also as tough and uncompromising as the desert from which it takes its name… Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 04/22/2022
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. Go to Full Review Therese Lacson Nerdophiles 10/09/2021
2/5
[The acting is] not enough to redeem this story that crawls off without much impact, making it completely unthrilling and basically forgettable. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 20 Success in 1 hour and 33 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated R for Some Violence and Language!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Kurt K @kirton Jan 28 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! See more Eric S 10/17/2024 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. See more Jerod S @jeroduptown 09/13/2023 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. See more joe w @JoeWasik 02/07/2023 For me, I liked the darkness of the story. This movie has no real protraganist Maybe a lot of people don't like that See more Michael C 12/09/2022 I loved this so much! Reminded me of Cormac McCarthy for some reason. Absolutely cannot believe why the reviews are so yuck. See more Read all reviews
