Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Jul 10, 2014
An effective throwback to the loose-limbed, my-way-or-the-highway road movies of the "Easy Rider" era. Go to Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Jul 10, 2014
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. Go to Full Review Joe Neumaier New York Daily News Jul 10, 2014
3/5
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. Go to Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Dec 14, 2019
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. Go to Full Review Brent Simon Paste Magazine Aug 16, 2014
3.2/10
Less a failure of competing or conflicting visions and more just a buffet of poorly executed meanderings. Go to Full Review Serena Fragassi Under the Radar Aug 5, 2014
5/10
All the visceral cut and paste art can't fully form Momoa's story. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

mark g @Mark_Alan_G. Aug 29, 2025 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. See more georgan g @RT98616417 Nov 21, 2022 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. See more Jerod S @jeroduptown Feb 2, 2022 Mamoa riding his bike. Mamoa riding his bike with friend. Mamoa riding his bike with Lisa.

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. See more Sep 3, 2021 Great writing and directorial debut for Momoa. Loved it until the end. Hate sad endings. See more Mar 30, 2020 A great movie to watch as a form of escapism, especially if you like motorcycle, but even if you don't. See more Read all reviews
