What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though its attempts to rework genre conventions may fall flat with some, Red Hill is a beautifully shot, tightly paced thriller that marks a strong debut for director Patrick Hughes.

Philip French Guardian The movie is extremely well staged and the young hero's dramatic lineage is established by his resonant name - Shane Cooper. Jun 14, 2011 Full Review Kim Newman Empire Magazine Powerful central performances drive this impressive Oz thriller which features death by boomerang. Rated: 3/5 May 13, 2011 Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard The film just about transcends its abundant clichs. It's Coen Brothers lite but made with some panache. Rated: 3/5 May 13, 2011 Full Review Ed Travis Hollywood Jesus A revenge flick with a heart of innocent gold, Red Hill will entertain and provoke you to consider how your past impacts your future reality. Apr 6, 2020 Full Review C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore The age old trope of Cowboys and Indians is transformed into a vessel for the rage of Indigenous people who've been colonised since the day the British set foot in Australia. Rated: 4.5/5 May 1, 2019 Full Review Abbie Bernstein Assignment X Red Hill doesn't set up its foreshadowing as well as it might, but overall, it works as a tale of places where the West, for good and ill, is still alive. Rated: B Feb 19, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Ken C Very intense movie deserves four stars out if five. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/04/25 Full Review Space C Pretty good movie and I like that Jimmy is able to get his justice his way. The ending is saddening but makes sense, the only thing that really irritated me was that Jimmy (Tom E Lewis) let Cooper (Ryan Kwanten) live multiple times and the little twerp still couldn't put two and two together until it was spelt out for him. Literally. He read a sworn statement and decided to use his little braincells, bless. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review Darryl S Not a terrible movie, quite enjoyable watch for a Sunday afternoon. What really annoyed me was that no one was capable of doing anything quietly! The bad guy could have been disposed of early on if people didn't fall over, trip over, knock stuff over, or just groan. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/25 Full Review Alain M a b-movie with no real known actors and with a slow pacing and bad acting Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/21/23 Full Review Stephen A Ludicrous direction and ridden with nonsense situations. Don't waste your time.. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Great film. Hasn't dated. Kwanten and Bisley both put in strong performances. Lewis was fantastic as the revengeful murderer, out to settle a score, with his one line of dialogue in the final minutes lending his character a Terminator type quality. It was well paced, but had moments of clichéd Wild West elements that didn't quite work. I'd still recommend it though. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
