READ THE REVIEW

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: A-
"... a model of clean, lean storytelling."

Austin American-Statesman: 3 of 5 stars
"... goes beyond a meditation on violence begetting violence, but explores deception, the inescapability of the past, animals' native violence and the essential duality of humans."

Middletown Journal: A
"Cronenberg remains unblinking, not only at the brutal violence, but at its after-effects. A number of painful scenes play out in long takes, as the director refuses to direct our eyes away from the consequences."

The Palm Beach Post: A
"Mortensen is ideally cast, for he seems to be built for fighting, yet clearly has a vulnerable side too."
