Reaction: The Dark Comedy genre has been an iffy one at best, so breaking even is considered a success. This one did far better than just breaking even, so we are ecstatic.



"Haven meanders a bit with its plot, but it all comes together in the end thanks to some excellent performances from big screen veterans like Stiller, Cruise and Chastain, as well as younger actors like Schnapp and Garner." - Gregory Fletcher, Los Angeles Times-Journal





"Writers Chad Taylor and John Malone have obviously proven time and time again that they are master world-builders, but where their script for Haven excels even more is in how perfectly they have captured the characters. Everyone feels real and relatable, even the ones you're not supposed to like." - Cal Crowe, Washington Globe




"A lot of the magic that made the Scion trilogy great returns here thanks in large part to the strong character work or Ben Stiller, Jessica Chastain and Tom Cruise and the ever excellent plotting and detail from Chad and John. What really makes the movie succeed however is it's worldbuilding of Haven and how such a seemingly perfect town could have a seedier side. In return, it creates a world so intriguing that I'd love to see more of it. Perhaps another trilogy is in order?" - Mitchell Parker, New York Times







Rated PG-13 for language, thematic material some violent content
