Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Aug 31, 2017
This earnest quasi-crime thriller, directed by Dan Glaser, takes too long to gain momentum and deliver the requisite action and suspense. Go to Full Review
Steven Prokopy Third Coast Review May 13, 2020
The nasty, drawn-out, bloody battle for the bones is an impressive, well-paced series of small set pieces, and the result is downright impressive, tense, and even heartfelt in places. Go to Full Review

Luke S Dec 20, 2017 Over all a good time waster with a good story. But the silly mistakes being made took me right out of the movie! one example of many = Mom is all worried to bring her son out into the badlands but has no problem sending him into a small cave like fissure to get dropped keys without a flashlight at night while she holds a lantern at the mouth... Almost in the following shot after they get out, the son has a flash light?? It's the writer/director who is the cause of these blunders which ruin an otherwise good flic See more
Rey R Sep 28, 2017 I thoroughly enjoyed Valley of Bones. Let me be clear: this is not a perfect movie, but it's also not a massive blockbuster with the budget to make it perfect. However, for an independent film, I was thoroughly impressed and captivated. What I loved the most is how personal this could-just-be-an-action-movie was: the story follows the paths of two struggling parents, each on their journey to do right by their child, under the limitations of their major flaws (addiction and guilt). The heroes begin broken and crumble from there. It's an incredibly human story with an awesome bonus backdrop of dinosaur bones. Steven Molony has a standout performance in the role of the recovering meth addict - he is painful and heartbreaking to watch. I hope we continue to see AMC take risks in promoting fantastic, thoughtful indie film-making. See more
