Reaction: While only a minor success at the box office, it is a drastic improvement over writer Harmony Winters' first film - The Past Before - which lost over $41 million at the box office last season.




"While the overall plot is highly redundant, there are a handful of really effective individual scenes. I would have liked them to add up to something a little more original as a whole, but I'll take good scenes in an okay movie over bad scenes in a bad movie any day." - Sean Williamson, Toronto Star





"The usually kinetic Doug Liman was an inspired choice to direct this slower neo-western thriller. That said, the film just didn't quite hold together enough to work though. It bobs and weaves too much for its own good." - Lisa Winger, Newsday





"Chris Evans gives a convincing performance in his first LRF vehicle in many seasons. His hero is surrounded by the usual motley crew of underbelly characters - including a scene-stealing Jason Clarke." - Bruce Vickers, Baltimore Sun









Rated R for strong violence, drug content, thematic material and language
