Mohawk is overall a very strong second feature film for director Ted Geoghegan with powerful performances, good effects, beautiful images, and a story that is worth seeing.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 17, 2020

The low-budget seams are obvious, but the film is more of a modest success than a noble failure, thanks to the lean, evocative premise, which is smartly realized by Geohegan's direction.

| Original Score: B- | Dec 7, 2018

A film that looks at American history all the way through to the present and can only respond with blood-soaked sadness.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 2, 2018

There's a lot about Mohawk that simply doesn't work.

| Original Score: C+ | Oct 3, 2018

Mohawk is by no means perfect, but it's unlike any other recent film, and I'm grateful for that.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 22, 2018

A brutal chase thriller told from a perspective we rarely see.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 8, 2018

Mohawk is hurt by its budget, but it still delivers a thrilling and brutal thriller with something to say about politics and the treatment of Native Americans.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 31, 2018

Mohawk offers a fresh story angle on the invasion and occupation of America, it's beautifully shot and bone-crushingly brutal, and features an incredibly kick-ass heroine.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 29, 2018

Geoghegan epitomizes why an argument like "all sides" can't work in situations fueled by hate speech. He allows his characters sympathy, but never lets us forget who they are.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Aug 28, 2018

An intense and ruthless survival film with a focus on protagonists whose future is doomed, no matter what path they take.

| Apr 21, 2018

[A] brutal, angry revenge thriller that takes a familiar format in new directions while wearing its wounded, political heart on its sleeve.

| Original Score: B- | Mar 29, 2018

Disguised simply as a small-scale action horror film, Mohawk becomes a good focal point for something much larger than itself, which enables its flaws to be more readily overlooked.

| Mar 15, 2018

Mohawk is a valiant effort of genre-splicing, but it comes out more like a jigsaw puzzle with pieces that don't match forced together and a lot of other pieces missing.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Mar 13, 2018

A contemplative bloodbath ... a serviceably brutal revenge thriller.

| Original Score: B- | Mar 9, 2018

These kinds of stories need to be told, not only because they ensure that we do not forget our past but also for our need to recognize the complicated nature of history.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 4, 2018

With its politically charged themes of oppression and the genocide of Native Americans and the play on how history has been presented in the past, "Mohawk" is a fascinating and engaging tale of bloody revenge.

| Original Score: B- | Mar 2, 2018

As with last year's The Void, Mohawk is wonderfully long on setting, mood, and practical effects, and woefully short on storytelling and drama.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 2, 2018

I have no doubt that Geoghegan's intentions are sincere but the muddling of historical fiction with the Grand Guignol is an uneven mix that never fully gels.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 2, 2018

Has the same political urgency as Wes Craven's now-classic, but rough-around-the-edges early films, like Last House on the Left and The Hills Have Eyes.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 2, 2018
