Its director and producer Zach Hagen is congenial and it is a very good movie. It keeps leading you in one direction, in order to sneak up on you in the other.

Mark Olsen

Los Angeles Times

Made up of four or five story ideas all crammed together, the film maintains a stop-start momentum at best that keeps it from ever hitting a solid stride.

Rated: 2.5/5

New York Times

An unconvincing, sometimes unfathomable tale about a brooding veteran (Chadwick Boseman) who was involved in a vaguely defined atrocity while fighting overseas.

Rated: 2/5

Film School Rejects

There are exhausting strings of overly-flowery monologuing, inexplicable plot points that are wholly unrealistic, and a lack of service-related knowledge to provide a level of reality to the military talk.

...the serious subject of post-war trauma among Iraq veterans [folded] into a revenge and redemption scenario...sometimes interesting but all too often cartoonish.

Rated: 2/5

Shockya.com

A well meaning look at post-traumatic stress disorder and ex-military account-settling, this spare yet affected would-be thriller never ripens past the point of a wobbly character study.

Rated: C

Despite Chadwick Boseman's presence this feels direct to cable at best.

I don't always hate films I see but this one was the pits. You could say it went down like the titanic after it hit the iceberg. Steaming pile of garbage that should never have been made.

This is a dirt-poor-man's Taxi Driver. Not in content, style, skill, or soul, mind you; just in more surface-y ways. A war vet who drives a taxi deals with extreme PTSD while overbearing narration blankets much of the film. Still, despite some uncomfortably bad moments that you may expect from this kind of ultra-low-budget thriller, there's way more intrigue and dramatic weight than one might expect, especially when focused on the plight and consequences of the all-too-real forgotten servicemen.

The kill hole is not one of Chadwick Boseman‘s better films. The movie seems extremely low budget and stagey at times all while the script and story are fine it’s not very well executed. Chadwick Boseman gives an OK performance as always but the film drags on. The ending is it very satisfying either.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Incredible shots of Oregon and Mt. Hood. Pacing is slow but methodical. Tory Kittles's character is haunting and powerful. This is definitely not a movie for everyone, but I loved it.
