Critic Reviews

A weird, wordy but oddly compelling thriller.Full Review

Jeannette Catsoulis
The New York Times

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.Full Review

Robert Abele
Los Angeles Times

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.Full Review

Village Voice

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.Full Review

Variety

Never really gets up to speed on any engrossing level, save for Michael Hardwick's notable cinematography.Full Review
