Nathalie Atkinson Globe and Mail Mar 11, 2016
3/4
In a demanding role light on dialogue, Sutherland's rangy, loping physicality serves both the character and the action well ... Go to Full Review

2.5/4
Dagg does a decent job of helming a tale that is not particularly complex or edifying, although an interesting twist at the end will almost certainly divide audiences. Go to Full Review
Harry Windsor The Hollywood Reporter Mar 10, 2016
Sutherland is superbly frayed, seeming to get appreciably thinner and more shell-like every minute. Go to Full Review

4/5
[Sutherland] pitches his performance at a delicate point between a good man struggling to extricate himself out of a dire situation, and a white man who can't think outside the entitlement box. Go to Full Review

3/5
Dagg keeps things simple, but his jogging camera whips up the urgency and he's well-served by Sutherland's rangy physicality. Go to Full Review
Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue Jul 31, 2016

Hagrid S Dec 19, 2018 Forrest Gump meets The Quiet American.
Kylo M Oct 26, 2018 The movie isn't particularly thrilling it's more of a meandering bore.
Draco P Jul 12, 2018 Brutal and gripping.
Finn S Nov 20, 2017 A movie that makes you question your morality. However, the movie ends halfway through the plot. Instead of exploring the consequences of Lake's actions the director left the film open ended. See more
Oct 23, 2017 An emotional masterpiece.
Poe S Feb 23, 2017 Not the greatest story line, but Sutherlands epic performance make River something special.
