Reviews
  • NRC:  Een liefdevol verslag van menselijke veerkracht. Een portret van personages die allemaal op hun eigen manier pijn lijden. Maar daar eigenlijk veel eerlijker, kwetsbaarder en opener over zijn dan veel mensen in het echte leven. Dat zou de moed moeten zijn die deze film je wil inspreken.
  • Movie Machine: Ontroerende, maar vaak ook onweerstaanbaar grappige film over verlies en verwerking, liefde en verzoening, met schitterende vertolkingen van Simmons en Delpy, maar ook van jong talent Josh Wiggins.
  • The Guardian.com: Kurt Voelker’s father-son tale boasts strong performances from JK Simmons and Julie Delpy. An affecting, jagged take on grief, depression and self-sabotage.
  • TheHollyWoodReporter.com: Voelker excels at guiding the cast through some complicated emotional territory and maintains strong arcs for each of the principal characters.
  • Latimes.com: Deftly balancing humor and grief, "The Bachelors" is fueled by wonderfully human performances and fully realized characters. We can also hope that The Bachelors serves another function as well: to further the careers of its two exceptional young performers: Wiggins and Rush.
  • Filminquiry.com: A thoughtful, timely gem that normalizes mental health treatment. The Bachelors is a scarcity of a film, one that transcends several genres to create an affecting orotundity through its singular voice.
  • Blu-ray.com: Voelker doesn't pour on the syrup, creating an approachable but deeply felt picture that's curious about behavior and therapy.
  • EyeForFilm.co.uk: The Bachelors is just a snapshot of a moment in life, but it's the sort of picture you'd want to keep.
  • Filmjournal.com: The story is simple, how a father and teenage son cope with the sudden loss of their wife and mother, and the acting is brilliant.

Reviews
  • TheGuardian: Ray Liotta, who in his final performance (he died during production) still has an offbeat intensity, like a deranged William Shatner. Barr keeps things motoring with a baleful zip.
  • Anygoodfilms.com: Dangerous Waters is entertaining and deliriously daft and is firmly in the 'Saturday night pizza and a six pack' category but it’s a lot of fun and Odeya Rush at only 26 years of age is great in the role relishing every smack down.
  • Mybloodyreviews.com: Young Israeli American star Odeya Rush makes for a credible and engaging lead and both Eric Dane and the late Ray Liotta bring the required menace to proceedings with their usual aplomb.
  • Guyatthemovies.com: Odeya Rush Kicks Ass.
  • Moviesreview101.com: It keeps offering more leading us to the surprise direction everything ends up going. Odeya Rush is brilliant in the leading role.
  • Mailnewsgroup.com: It securely anchors within its genre, offering a tumultuous voyage that will undoubtedly be enjoyed by those who dare to navigate its stormy narrative seas of survival, revelation, and retribution.

Reviews
  • Cinemarvellous.blogspot.nl: Moving along at a taut pace, never sinking into dulness, and featuring some thrilling car chases and tense hand-to-hand battles, "The Hunter's Prayer" is an action thriller with true soul, led by Worthington's more-than-strong performance, and complemented by the gifted Rush's mesmerizing presence.
  • Thatmomentin.com: Solid action thriller delivers with Worthington at his best. 
  • CaseyMovieMania: blessed with lean action sequences.
  • JBSpins.blogspot.nl: Recommended for anyone who appreciates throwback action-thrillers. 
  • Slantmagazine.com: provides the sort of cogent and compact visceral thrills that are in short supply in recent American action cinema.
  • Screendependent.be: The Hunter's Prayer had zeker in de bioscoopzalen mogen verschijnen. Met namen als Odeya Rush en Sam Worthington is er gegarandeerd een publiek voor deze interessante actieprent. Dankzij het mooie acteerwerk van Sam Worthington en Odeya Rush en de degelijke regie van Jonathan Mostow kan je maar één ding concluderen: The Hunter's Prayer is een film die je niet mag missen.
