Variety

[jA] deliberate, elliptical and startlingly carnal vision of a rogue French soldier's vengeful heart-of-darkness quest.

The Hollywood Reporter

This skillfully crafted and superbly shot war movie suffers from some familiar plot mechanics and an overwhelming sense of doom, yet remains a compelling look at a conflict seldom depicted in French cinema.

An extremely confident and undeniably well-made Vietnam war movie...

Rated: 3/5

Lawrence Garcia

MUBI

Like Ulliel's vengeful Robert Tassen, scenes are often terse and laconic, punctuated by grim, graphic violence.

Butaca Ancha

Nicloux displays a gluttonous amount of gratuitous violence that seems to only serve as a sensationalist exercise. [Full Review in Spanish]

Film Inquiry

This is brave, exciting filmmaking, and a fine amuse bouche to Apocalypse Now's meatier take on the same subject matter.

We're in the Indochina-war, 1945: French Robert Tassen is the only survivor of a massacre in which his brother has perished. Blinded by revenge, Robert rejoins the forces in search of the assassins. But meeting the young Indochinese Maï disrupts his mission. I absolutely loved the tension of this movie. Well recommended.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
