The Good: Jason Momoa shows off his acting chops in this one. Usually seen as a gladiator/muscle-head type, Momoa does a very good job in a dramatic turn. Written and directed by Momoa himself, the story is a good one that gets your interest early on. Well known Native America actor Wes Studi plays Momoa's father in the film and while he doesn't have many scenes, they are memorable. Studi always seems to do an excellent job. The last 10 minutes or so of the film are powerful.

The Bad: A little on the formulaic side, what truly prevents the film from being great are several lulls in the middle. It starts and ends well, but far too many of the scenes in between feel like filler. Some of the supporting actors/actresses were pretty bad.… Expand

While the premise initially appears to be that Robert Wolf is on the run fleeing justice, it's actually more about him saying goodbye, knowing justice will catch up with him eventually.

People have complained about the slow pace, perhaps expecting car chases and explosions. But the pace of the film is just right for the story. There are scenes that could have been cut or shortened, but this film is exploring the life and emotions of a man who knows he will soon lose everything.

The film could have been more subtle in the way it portrayed vigilante justice, which is perhaps the biggest flaw. But it's not in-your-face, either.

In all, solid movie. And the cinematography is fantastic, by the way.… Expand

Το φιλμ “Road to Paloma” είναι ένα οικογενειακό δράμα που υμνεί το «αίμα», τη φιλία αλλά και τα δικαιώματα των γηγενών Αμερικανών. Ταυτόχρονα αποτελεί μα κλασική “road movie” που βασίζεται περισσότερο στο στυλ και όχι τόσο στην ουσία…Το φιλμ “Road to Paloma” είναι ένα οικογενειακό δράμα που υμνεί το «αίμα», τη φιλία αλλά και τα δικαιώματα των γηγενών Αμερικανών.

There is a lot to experience in this slow-moving dramatic piece about revenge and honour. A clash between lawful /neutral and neutral/good. Momoa is believable in the leading role. NOT an action movie. Recommended.
