An effective throwback to the loose-limbed, my-way-or-the-highway road movies of the "Easy Rider" era.

New York Times

None of this is riveting, but the film's loose naturalism and strong acting - Chris Browning, as a liaison between the F.B.I. and the reservation, is especially enjoyable - are slyly seductive.

New York Daily News

Momoa makes much of it work through sheer force of will as Wolf, a chopper-riding Native American hunted by venal lawmen and seeking his mother's killer.

Rated: 3/5

Behind The Lens

Creating an almost 'Easy Rider' vibe, as writer/first-time director/actor, Jason Momoa dazzles with moody emotional depth and a stylized visual eye, delivering a film that is not only beautiful to look at but beautifully done.

Paste Magazine

Less a failure of competing or conflicting visions and more just a buffet of poorly executed meanderings.

Rated: 3.2/10

Under the Radar

All the visceral cut and paste art can't fully form Momoa's story.

I am not a fan of Jason Momoa, but I actually thought he was really good in this pretty decent film. In fact, pretty good film.

3 & 1/4 stars. This pulled the heartstrings for Native Americans, generally, and the main character, specifically. Jason Mamoa is not only good to look at but a darn good actor.

I just watched this for the first time and I am sorry I waited so long. I love a story that builds and shows who characters are along the way. The pace is perfect, and we are shown as much as we are told so that by the end you know exactly why it plays out the way it does with no exposition needed. It is also visually stunning from start to finish. It is well cast, and all of the character interactions, even those not pivotal to the story, feel genuine. I rarely re-watch films but definitely plan to keep this one on my list.

Great writing and directorial debut for Momoa. Loved it until the end. Hate sad endings.

A great movie to watch as a form of escapism, especially if you like motorcycle, but even if you don't.
