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.

The movie is extremely well staged and the young hero's dramatic lineage is established by his resonant name - Shane Cooper. Go to Full Review Kim Newman Empire Magazine 05/13/2011

3/5
The film just about transcends its abundant clichs. It's Coen Brothers lite but made with some panache. Go to Full Review Ed Travis Hollywood Jesus 04/06/2020
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. Go to Full Review C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore 05/01/2019
4.5/5
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. Go to Full Review Abbie Bernstein Assignment X 02/19/2019

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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Ken C Aug 4 Very intense movie deserves four stars out if five. See more Space C Feb 16 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. See more Darryl S Jan 19 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. See more Alain M 07/21/2023 a b-movie with no real known actors and with a slow pacing and bad acting See more Stephen A 07/02/2023 Ludicrous direction and ridden with nonsense situations. Don't waste your time.. See more 06/26/2022 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. See more Read all reviews
