Critic Reviews

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Everything that happens is certain to happen from the first minutes, and the only hope is that these things might happen quickly or in some new or interesting way. They don't.
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
The greatest lacrosse movie of the 21st century...
Joe Leydon, Variety
Respectably crafted but thoroughly predictable.
Sara Stewart, New York Post
With an emotional depth roughly equivalent to that of his lacrosse stick, the lunk-like Lutz mourns his Marine dad's death...
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
A ho-hum drama whose many moving parts feel decidedly recycled.
Andy Webster, New York Times
Factory-issue jingoism, yielding no surprises and frightfully few insights.
Philip Martin, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Perhaps best received as a workout for the Twilight junior varsity ...
David Noh, Film Journal International
Nixon and Reagan would have loved this movie.
Diego Costa, Slant Magazine
A Warrior's Heart is so inept at developing itself as a film that it hands in all of its devices to the soundtrack itself and becomes a music video.
