Wendy Ide Screen International Nov 26
The excessive use of music, and the highly choreographed shooting style, means that the film looks and feels like an extremely violent extended music video. Go to Full Review David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter Sep 15
A glowering Alan Ritchson brings gravitas by virtue of his hulking physical presence alone, but Shailene Woodley, Ben Foster and Pablo Schreiber are stuck playing characters too familiar to pack much heat. Go to Full Review Steve Pond TheWrap Sep 8
It shouldn’t work but it pretty much does, at least for those who are big enough pulp fans to go along with this wacky thrill ride. Go to Full Review Marissa Hill Shade Studios Jan 19
It feels like a gritty MTV music video fused with old-school revenge flicks like something from Sisu set against that worn-down '70s Detroit grit. Go to Full Review Doug Jamieson The Jam Report Oct 25
3/5
A pulpy revenge thriller that doesn’t care much for subtlety but absolutely thrives on mood and texture. Go to Full Review Sarah Manvel Movies We Texted About Oct 14
