	Author	Review
United States	Andy Webster The New York Times	"The younger actors are skilled and engaging (...) but [Kinnaman's] character proves too underdrawn, starved for a back story"	NEU
United States	Godfrey Cheshire rogerebert.com	"[It] does have things to recommend it to adventurous viewers: a very suspenseful, atmospheric mounting and sharp acting by its small but expert cast (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times	"There’s an effectively tense dynamic between [Kinnaman and Holland] (...) but, committed performances aside, Kinnaman’s tortured soul cries out for a less predictable path en route to the abyss."	NEU
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Joel Kinnaman is left to die in this unsatisfying wilderness thriller"	NEG
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Gripping until it succumbs to familiar genre conventions (...) [It] is most effective in its early section"	NEU
