The New York TimesJeannette Catsoulis
A weird, wordy but oddly compelling thriller. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert Abele
What keeps Godspeed from lasting power are its melodramatic swerves and less-than-revelatory acting. But despite its fissures in tone and technique, Godspeed occasionally plays like a sturdy indie outpost of revenge cinema. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterMichael Rechtshaffen
Never really gets up to speed on any engrossing level, save for Michael Hardwick's notable cinematography. Read full review

VarietyJustin Chang
A little less chatter and a little more splatter might have improved Godspeed, an initially intriguing but finally overwrought tale of murder, retribution and quasi-religious fanaticism set in the land of the midnight sun. Read full review

Village VoiceAaron Hillis
The tone fits the material and the performances are surprisingly measured, but Saitzyk's sappy pontifications on loss, redemption, and zealotry don't register as headily as they're meant to (every character gets at least one melodramatic speech), and the spirituality invoked feels about as sincere as the Christian who only attends Christmas mass.

New York PostLou Lumenick
Quite a slog, with most of the acting strictly amateurish save the veteran Ed Lauter as a fish and game inspector. Read full review
