… an extreme gross-out stoner comedy that could have been a whole lot pfunnier…

… can’t decide if it’s a cheesy teen horror movie or a B-movie throwback.

…an amiable cinematic journey that takes audiences through New Zealand’s breathtaking landscapes while delivering a blend of humour, adventure, and heartfelt drama.

… calm, bittersweet, and very moving.

… paints a vivid portrait of resilience, grit, and the power of sport to transcend racial barriers and harsh oppression.

Fluid hand-held camera work keeps this story moving, although it does plod along towards a grisly conclusion.

... reminds us why the film is as relevant today as it was when it lit up the box office four decades ago.

… feels like a protracted exercise in trolling the audience.

… an absolutely phenomenal movie experience with empowering messages, drama and pure entertainment that satisfies on all fronts.

The strength of the storytelling lies in the flashback episodes.
