Reviews

The A.V. Club -
The Salvation never come across as a pastiche; the world of the spaghetti Western — that desertscape where filthy gunmen leer into frame and life is punctuated by sadism — doesn’t need winks or references to be appreciated, and Levring doesn’t offer any.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
As in any classic Western, there are blunt pleasures to be had every time the tables are turned on men in black hats, as well as from direct, threat-loaded dialogue, meaningful looks, geometric arrangements of heroes and villains, and tense hunts for prey that play out both in rugged mountain settings and the tight quarters of buildings.

|
The Dissolve -
It’s a welcome throwback, moving at a brisk clip and allowing its impressive cast to embody some cherished archetypes.
|
|
Village Voice -
Emphasizing action over the spoken word, The Salvation doesn't break new ground, yet its murderous twists of fate are consistently compelling.
|
|
CineVue -
Nothing quite competes with the blistering opening scene, but The Salvation's cast of characters mean it's never less than a fun watch.
