The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisNov 4, 2010
Like the best westerns, Red Hill is a stripped-down morality tale; like the best horror movies, its true monsters remain cloaked until the final reel. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumNov 3, 2010
A serving of "True Blood's" Ryan Kwanten in his native accent is the chief selling point of this picturesque, contentedly imitative Australian Western/thriller/Coen-brothers homage, the feature debut of writer-director Patrick Hughes. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovNov 5, 2010

It's a Clint Eastwood role that only proves you can't send a boy to do a man's job. Read full review

Village VoiceNick PinkertonNov 2, 2010
It's clear that Hughes knows his Midnight Oil, but he's ignorant of the craft of economic action filmmaking. However arguably noble his film's intent to redress historical grievance, a poorly filmed shoot-out is never more than exactly that. Read full review
