Critics' reviews

"Working from a screenplay by Edgerton, rising Australian director Matthew Saville has expertly constructed a low-key, realistic drama in which the malleability of morality in an increasingly murky situation takes center stage."

Kenneth Turan: Los Angeles Times
"The three actors excel in their roles, and director Matthew Saville gives additional insight into the men through small yet informative details."

Stephanie Merry: The Washington Post
"Directed with contained intensity and sharp character observation by Matthew Saville, the brooding thriller covers familiar territory but does so with sustained tension and psychological complexity."

David Rooney: The Hollywood Reporter
"Thanks to Saville’s tightly controlled direction and a superlative cast, the mere exchange of glances builds as much suspense as the kinetic action sequence that opens the pic."

Ronnie Scheib: Variety
"Strong acting all ’round helps, but unfortunately this is just a slow ride to nowhere."

Joe Neumaier: New York Daily News
"Unfortunately, Edgerton the writer creates a situation so thorny that he can’t find a way out of it."

Mike D'Angelo: AV Club
"It reveals itself to be a profoundly cynical movie posing as a work of idealism, and it's all the more insidious because it's otherwise so bland and forgettable. (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"

Chuck Bowen: Slant
