Critic Reviews
-
Jennie Punter, Globe and Mail
Cactus thrives on sparse dialogue and scant backstory, so the flood of information in the final act waters down what is otherwise a dark outback thriller.
-
Sura Wood, Hollywood Reporter
Suspenseful misadventure gets off to a roaring start but doesn't deliver the goods.
-
Russell Edwards, Variety
Jasmine Yuen-Carrucan ("Kill Bill," "Mongol") leapfrogs into the director's chair with confidence; but her flawed, lightweight script betrays inexperience behind a keyboard.

David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...Cactus feels like a short that's been awkwardly expanded to feature length.
-
Liz Braun, Jam! Movies
Cactus is the sort of film that grabs your attention from the beginning and holds on tight almost throughout, but vanishes from your mind the minute it's over.
