Slant MagazineChuck BowenDec 1, 2013
A confident and exciting genre film, and that's certainly not nothing, but it has a slight impersonality that marks it as either a calling card or a work for hire. Read full review

The DissolveWilliam GossDec 4, 2013
Driven by Paul Grabowsky’s deceptively jaunty score, Swerve is ably performed and tightly paced... But it doesn’t stick the landing. Read full review

New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanDec 5, 2013
Despite the revved-up start and a suitably dusty setting, the movie stalls almost immediately. The story is uninspired, Lyons looks lost, and Booth makes for a bland femme fatale. Clarke tries to inject some energy into the action, but even he seems to realize this ride’s going nowhere. Read full review
