Five years after the Civil War, freedwoman and former Buffalo Soldier Moses "Mo" Washington travels west to lay claim on a gold mine- the summation of years of toil for Mo and her community. It is a mean, dangerous world for an unaccompanied Black woman in 1870 America and so Mo travels into the deep frontier disguised as a man. After her stagecoach is ambushed by a group of murderous thieves, Mo is forced to hold legendary outlaw Tommy Walsh captive while the remaining surviving passengers seek out help. What ensues is a battle of wills, blurring the line between captor and captive, as they both try to survive the harsh western landscape.

Nice movie to pass the time. However, while the protagonist is in great danger, there is surprisingly little tension. Maybe a better editor and some music could have accomplished that.

Letia Wright and Jamie Bell did an excellent job but it was boring. I've been in the desert and the sun is so bright you can barely see yet in today's movies they always show every scene dark, even at noon! What's with that? Check out a 1950's movie for proper cinematography.

Letitia Wright's potent performance cannot save this film from an incoherent narrative. It is frustrating to watch. I finally gave up after an hour.

Tim Cogshell

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

This movie is more John Ford and Sergio Leone in that the characters talk too much. If it had been a little more Sergio and a little less John, it would've been an even better movie.

Los Angeles Times

Wright and Bell have a powerful dynamic, with her playing Mo as quietly ferocious and him playing Tommy as brashly theatrical.

A stark and unsuspecting Western.

Movie Nation

Genre fans will relish its grit, grim dilemmas and period-perfect detail, all in service of an entertaining and believable yarn that honors both the history and the erased history of the American West.

Rated: 3/4

Michael Clark

Epoch Times

Mandler’s brilliant “Surrounded” is everything dedicated fans of Westerns could possibly want. It is a throwback in every sense of the word and could have been produced at any point in the last 70 or so years by the likes of Ford, Hawks, or Eastwood.

Rated: 5/5

Tampa Bay Newspapers

Mandler shines the spotlight on the thorny relationship that develops between Mo and Tommy. Wright and Bell both deliver outstanding performances in their roles, though the script shortchanges both characters in terms of their development.
