4/5
This shut-in scenario is rivet-gunned by astute, underplayed performances all round. Go to Full Review
Elizabeth Weitzman TheWrap 09/27/2024
One of those movies that relies so heavily on its final twist that the rest of the story becomes an afterthought. Go to Full Review
Claudia Puig FilmWeek (LAist) 09/16/2024
It felt more derivative than suspenseful. Go to Full Review
Joshua Ryan The Cosmic Circus Jul 19
Tropes and clichés are a necessary part of genre filmmaking, but Slingshot fails to bring anything new out of them or to use them in interesting ways. Go to Full Review
Matt Glasby Radio Times 10/31/2024
2/5
Worst of all, the uninspired sets and modest SFX mean it never even feels like they're in space. Go to Full Review
Derek Chen Spectrum Culture 10/31/2024
Even if Slingshot often feels like a simple exercise in thriller conventions that’s taken to the stars, it can still be a fun ride. Go to Full Review

Google Oct 17 Ending was disappointing and kinda lame See more Teresa May 5 A little weird. But good spectre. See more DeWayne May 3 This movie kept me on my toes. Not because of the twists, but because it was kind of confusing from time to time. There's got to be a better way to mix reality with hallucinations without them seeming identical. It's tricky but interesting. See more Sharon 09/24/2024 This movie needed a better ending. See more Mr. Hollywood 09/14/2024 Boring and slow wannabe thriller. This has been done better in better movies. Skip it or just watch it once I guess because even the actors just phoned it in See more Gary C 09/12/2024 Wow, good movie, but couldn't tell what was real and what was not. A total mind twister. Great filming, great acting . It will make you think! See more Read all reviews
