Top critics, in their words

All reviews

Quite apart from the equally apparent lack of the Coens's extraordinary visual acuity, Cut Bank comes up short because it simply presumes that guilt and evil already live in town, just waiting for us to arrive and see the show.

Geoff Pevere, Globe and Mail
Rotten

Deficient in charisma, Hemsworth lacks both the grit and grin that his complicated role demands.

Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Rotten

In this sort of film, plenty of characters hope to get out of their small-time town, while viewers hope to get out of the theater.

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Rotten

Like many of its brethren, the movie seems to love itself while hating its characters.

G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten

Shakman is clearly going for a dark and bloody Fargo-style crime thriller, but the biggest crime in the film is just how derivative it all feels.
