Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Despite its fissures in tone and technique, Godspeed occasionally plays like a sturdy indie outpost of revenge cinema.

fresh:
Opens tentatively but ends confidently with a climax that's bloody enough to jolt but not enough to sicken -- a trick that too many directors have yet to master.
– Jeannette Catsoulis,

rotten:
The location -- Sarah Palin's beautiful old stomping ground of Wasilla, Alaska -- is the main attraction in Robert Saitzyk's talky and overwrought melodrama.

rotten:
Earnest to a fault, this tale of vengeance and retribution strives for Faulknerian pathos, but never rises above amateur theatrics.
– Andrew Grant,
Time Out New York,

rotten:
Saitzyk's sappy pontifications on loss, redemption, and zealotry don't register as headily as they're meant to, and the spirituality invoked feels about as sincere as the Christian who only attends Christmas mass.
