Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
In a demanding role light on dialogue, Sutherland's rangy, loping physicality serves both the character and the action well ...

fresh:
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.

fresh:
Sutherland is superbly frayed, seeming to get appreciably thinner and more shell-like every minute.

rotten:
Notwithstanding an atmospheric backdrop and what looks like a grueling shoot, Dagg's thriller is slow to get going and hampered by an inexpressive leading man.

fresh:
As thrillers go, the thrill is gone fairly quickly. But give River points for appearing to ask hard questions about do-gooders in far-away places.
