| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfEarly promise for a ripe inspection of brotherly unrest is quickly dismissed by limited actors and a helmer who never seems to know what he's doing. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonBeneath the picturesque snowy Alaskan landscapes, there's not much suspense in this hollow thriller. |
| Los Angeles TimesKimber MyersPretty but oh-so-dumb, Sugar Mountain is the cinematic equivalent of a himbo. |
| Globe and MailJohanna SchnellerThere is one bright spot, though: Jason Momoa (Game of Thrones) shows up as the town baddie, bringing a much-needed injection of scariness. |
| Common Sense MediaJeffrey M. AndersonThis ridiculous thriller centers on just about the dumbest scheme ever invented for a movie, yet the filmmakers don't show any awareness of the plan's absurdity; it's played dismayingly straight. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyPolished without ever achieving much in the realm of suspense or emotional involvement. |
| We Got This CoveredDavid JamesWhile there are moments to enjoy in Sugar Mountain, they simply don’t come often enough and by the end, you’ll find yourself struggling to care what happens to any of the characters here. |
| User ReviewMadison SThis is one of the most original movies I've seen in quite a while. I was pleasantly surprised and stayed glued to the edge of my seat the last half of the movie. I will say that the first few plot twists are fairly obvious, but it keeps going and the speed of the twists and turn accelerates and become a lot less obvious. I guarantee you will say "What the F---" around the final 5 minutes. |
| User ReviewSelena SDespite some weaknesses in the script, miss opportunities, and Elwes' seeming incapability to deliver any lines without smugness, "Sugar Mountain" is actually a pretty good and entertaining film for a low budget project. The scenery was beautiful and Coffey was a stronger performer that I expected. Deception and plot twists come frequently enough to keep you guessing and on your toes. I was entertained enough to recommend the film, its shortcomings notwithstanding. |
| User ReviewBud LStart's kinda of slow,but end's with a sick twist.I really liked it. |
