Omer Mozaffar RogerEbert.com 04/30/2020
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. Go to Full Review
Mark Olsen Los Angeles Times 03/21/2013
2.5/5
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. Go to Full Review
Neil Genzlinger New York Times 03/14/2013
2/5
An unconvincing, sometimes unfathomable tale about a brooding veteran (Chadwick Boseman) who was involved in a vaguely defined atrocity while fighting overseas. Go to Full Review
Dustin Hucks Film School Rejects 04/30/2020
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. Go to Full Review

2/5
...the serious subject of post-war trauma among Iraq veterans [folded] into a revenge and redemption scenario...sometimes interesting but all too often cartoonish. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

steve d 01/20/2023 Despite Chadwick Boseman's presence this feels direct to cable at best. See more deke p 02/01/2022 Had an interesting serious ending. Would should like to watch it all over and pay particular attention to most all of it. On my telly 'THIS' Channel 7.3...Jan 31, 2022 See more 09/11/2021 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. See more 01/09/2021 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. See more 09/01/2020 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. See more 09/15/2015 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. See more Read all reviews
