Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinFeb 1, 2018
It's Momoa's show and he brings strength, warmth and gravitas to a part that, thanks to an emotionally-grounded script by Thomas Pa'a Sibbett, based on Mike Nilon's story), proves more than just "Conan, the Lumberjack." Read full review

Aside from being a showcase for up-and-coming action star Jason Momoa, it offers little else of note. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreJan 16, 2018
Too many character actions seem inorganic, pre-ordained by the needs of the script. The set-up is strained, the quick move to violence perfunctory. Read full review
