Reviews:

"Eastwood’s sparely classical contribution to the genre is stripped of the slightest ounce of excess weight. The film demands close attention: gestures and facial expressions are charged."  **** FINANCIAL TIMES

"Grappling with the mechanisms of justice and the workings of a lone conscience, [Eastwood] puts both in the scales, and no one’s off the hook.  ****  DAILY TELEGRAPH

"Nicholas Hoult shines in a career-defining role, while Eastwood’s direction delivers relentless tension and moral complexity in a film that could mark a spectacular swan song."  ****  OBSERVER

"A deeply involving and thought-provoking new spin on the genre, which serves up a ripe moral quandary that goes deeper than anything John Grisham ever managed."  ****  TIME OUT

 it on track."  *** OBSERVER
