Dustin Baker’s review published on Letterboxd:
On the outset, this has a whole lot that's familiar, but it does these familiarities so well that you don't notice once you're into the movie. As it builds up our main character to be the hero, you're invested enough to mentally yell "Fuck yeah!" as he arrives to save the day. And then the entire last half becomes a tense chase through the woods, ratcheting down the scale of the action but twisting the tension even higher. It's an hour long cat and mouse game light on dialog which left me cheering. Think Enemy at the Gates but with bows and arrows. I loved it. Other than refreshingly putting a focus on arrow battle, there's not a lot new here, but the best way I can put it is that it's just so goddamn pleasing.
