| Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttAn intriguing, low-budget look at a young vigilante whose "heroism" comes with much moral ambivalence. |
| Rincón de cineLaura Hiros... a spectacular debut for director Michael Morrisey... [Full review in Spanish] |
| VarietyRonnie ScheibMorrissey displays a flair for moody atmospherics as his protagonist wanders Gotham's streets and subways at night, but the film relies too heavily on cryptic flashbacks and deliberate gaps in the narrative to create suspense. |
| User ReviewRay BThis movie was listed as one of the "Top Ten Movies You Didn't See This Year". I have to say after watching this movie, it's one of my top 20 of all time. Taking a very unassuming and nerdy teenage kid who lost his mother in a very violent way and turning him into an incredibly physically gifted vigilante. This is one of those revenge films you absolutely do not want to miss. I have to to say in layman's terms, this young man offers up a superior level of butt kicking seen in very few movies. The build up is exceptional, it keeps you interested and is VERY VERY unpredictable. It really has a very "graphic novel" feel to it. The acting of the main character is incredible. This is one of the most unexpected great films of my time watching films. I give this movie a 10.0 out of 10.0. As a devout movie-goer, I have to implore that you watch this film. |

| User ReviewJudge LThis is a really great movie that really made me cry. |
| User ReviewMatt JI thought this movie was thoughtful and gripping. Not to mention, my favorite actor, Zulay Henao, played an excellent role as the detective. Great job to all involved! |
| User ReviewGeraint LI thought on the edge creative semi-indie films were a thing of the past. But clearly talented writing and acting still exists to this day, in this dramatic, down to earth, psycho-struggle thriller. |
| User ReviewKevin COne of the most surprising films I've ever seen in my life. It gripping from start to end with humor, action, drama, and an excellent cast of talented actors. I've found a new favorite without evening looking for it. Under-rated and overlooked, a must see!!! |
