7/10
Inspired by Reeves, but clearly not attempting to recount the real story in any way. It's merely a fun western and should be seen as that. Go to Full Review
Tom Jolliffe Flickering Myth Dec 24, 2019
Gyasi's quiet gravitas and the excellent supporting cast bring an engaging story to life. Go to Full Review
Dominic Griffin Spectrum Culture Dec 20, 2019
1/5
Not once throughout the film do the environs, sets or costuming immerse the viewer in the appropriate period, because the film's cinematography makes it all feel like a civil war cosplay captured on a cell phone. Bass Reeves deserves a better movie. Go to Full Review

Reduces Reeves to a cheap action-movie stereotype, just another generic Western lawman gunning down anonymous henchmen in cowboy hats. Go to Full Review

2/5
Legendary frontier marshal Bass Reeves gets a shoddy western. Hell on the Border shines a spotlight on the lawman, but fails in almost every other regard. Go to Full Review
