Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com Tjahjanto’s enthusiasm and dedication to conceptual novelty continue to match Irfan’s creativity and accomplished work with his stunt teams. Rated: 3/4 Oct 18, 2024 Full Review Barry Hertz Globe and Mail Finding new and inventively cruel ways to shuffle henchmen off this mortal coil, the director levels up his trademark use of the silat style of martial arts, overkilling the concept of overkill. Oct 17, 2024 Full Review Katie Rife AV Club Creative methods of killing and maiming are Tjahjanto's specialty, and they fly at the viewer at a furious pace. Rated: B- Oct 15, 2024 Full Review Wilson Kwong The Asian Cut For action cinephiles, it really doesn’t get better than a film like this. Tjahjanto continues to elevate the genre, while softly refining his craft with each outing. Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Emiliano Basile EscribiendoCine Tjahjanto's ability to mix story and action is evident in every scene, making The Shadow Strays a benchmark for contemporary action cinema. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 6/10 Nov 3, 2024 Full Review Austin Burke Austin Burke/Flick Fan Nation The Shadow Strays uses this simplistic story as a vehicle for creative action sequences, a great lead character, and more than a few kick-ass moments. It pushes the brutality to its limits, and maintains its momentum through a rather lengthy run-time. Rated: 7.5/10 Oct 28, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Adrian P The Shadows Strays delivers an intense, gritty spectacle packed with electrifying action and a gripping storyline. The film masterfully balances relentless gore with top-tier cinematic thrills, leaving audiences thoroughly satisfied. It's an absolute must-watch for fans of hard-hitting action and compelling narratives. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/24/25 Full Review Theekshana W If you’re into gritty action with purpose, don’t miss this one. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/15/25 Full Review Matthew T What more can I say other than avoid this film. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/06/25 Full Review Len P Almost continuous sequence of action scenes erratically strung together with a weak plot. Fight scenes that never seem to end and become boring. Hard to stay awake. The high RT score must be from all the friends of the production team and cast. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/25 Full Review Steven T You will be hard pressed to find another female assassin destroying men with such deadly efficiency. An action star is born. Movie is OK but Aurora Ribero who plays 13 and Hana Malasan are well worth the price of admission. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review Valerii Ege D The Shadow Strays is a film with artificial action and a very weak storyline. Honestly, I expected much more from Timo Tjahjanto—a truly talented director. The film’s biggest standout is Aurora Ribero, who delivers an exceptional performance. If only the film itself had risen to her level. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/25 Full Review Read all reviews
