Nathalie Atkinson Globe and Mail 03/11/2016
3/4
In a demanding role light on dialogue, Sutherland's rangy, loping physicality serves both the character and the action well ... Go to Full Review Bruce DeMara Toronto Star 03/10/2016
2.5/4
Dagg does a decent job of helming a tale that is not particularly complex or edifying, although an interesting twist at the end will almost certainly divide audiences. Go to Full Review Harry Windsor The Hollywood Reporter 03/10/2016
Sutherland is superbly frayed, seeming to get appreciably thinner and more shell-like every minute. Go to Full Review Kaori Shoji Japan Times 03/08/2017
4/5
[Sutherland] pitches his performance at a delicate point between a good man struggling to extricate himself out of a dire situation, and a white man who can't think outside the entitlement box. Go to Full Review Kevin Harley Total Film 01/02/2017
3/5
Dagg keeps things simple, but his jogging camera whips up the urgency and he's well-served by Sutherland's rangy physicality. Go to Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 07/31/2016

RT E 04/29/2021 Pretty boring. And u have to guess the ending. I have to split it to 2 times watching because the jogging camera makes me wanna puke. Motion sickness. See more 12/19/2018 Forrest Gump meets The Quiet American. See more 10/26/2018 The movie isn't particularly thrilling it's more of a meandering bore. See more ben c 07/12/2018 Brutal and gripping. See more 11/20/2017 A movie that makes you question your morality. However, the movie ends halfway through the plot. Instead of exploring the consequences of Lake's actions the director left the film open ended. See more 10/23/2017 An emotional masterpiece. See more Read all reviews
