Artful to a fault, straining so hard for Shakespearean import it saps whatever life and energy there was to be had in this familiar, low-stakes tale.November 26, 2013
...the sort of movie that one admires more than one enjoys...August 27, 2010
It's a remarkable film: gritty, gut-churning, thrillingly acted.October 07, 2015
But honestly, the film is lame.November 13, 2013
Seldom is a debut feature handled with such assurance and intelligenceSeptember 10, 2010

Writer-director David Michod creates a densely textured moral universe that makes good on his metaphoric title.September 08, 2010

It's not unique, but as a distillation of a well-worn genre, it's admirable.September 03, 2010
Dark and mesmerizing.
