Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The movie deftly shifts from its initial chase thriller mode to a grueling, offbeat tale of human survival.
– Gary Goldstein,
Los Angeles Times,
2 Dec 2010
fresh:
Delivering an absolute minimum of context, the film dares us to forge our own reasons for rooting for or despising this savage.
– David Jenkins,
Time Out,
30 Mar 2011
fresh:
View it as an existential thriller illustrating how violence begets violence.
– Peter Howell,
Toronto Star,
30 Mar 2011
fresh:
Stripped of its political vestments, Essential Killing is a chase film almost existential in its rawness and virtually silent in its unfolding -- just a pursued man reduced by circumstance to a primitive state.
– Rick Groen,
Globe and Mail,
1 Apr 2011
fresh:
Under the guise of current events, Skolimowski artfully conjures an elemental archetype of human life itself. In English, Polish, and Arabic.
– Richard Brody,
