1.5/5 |
The fault here lies in the film's dead rhythm, which never lights the sparks necessary for an action film. The plot and action progress like an eroding lakeshore, but the energy and excitement are washed away in every scene. Full Review |

|
1.5/5 |
Without anything more to offer, the choreographed carnage gets stale very quickly. Full Review |
||
|
2/6 |
Pathfinder’s main appeal will be to connoisseurs of gore, who will find no shortage of graphically rendered stabbings, shootings, smashings, severings and slicings. Full Review |

Imagine a heavy metal album cover come suddenly to life and you pretty much have the measure of Pathfinder. Full Review |

1.5/5 |
The plot and action progress like an eroding lakeshore, but the energy and excitement are washed away in every scene. Full Review |

2/5 |
Never has an idea of such splendid nuttiness been so squandered to the god of neurotic style. Full Review |
||
|
1.5/4 |
The movie is filmed in a way that makes it seem like the camera has epilepsy and the color desaturation renders everything murky. Someone should remind director Marcus Nispel that there's a difference between making a music video and a feature film. Full Review |

Metal heads will be in Valhalla; everyone else should find a different path. Full Review |

|
1/4 |
Pathfinder is simultaneously action-packed and a total bore, a strange movie that never seems to move even though it consists of almost nothing but violence. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who think slow-motion is cool and those who do not. If you are of the former, I can recommend Pathfinder. Full Review |

2/5 |
Gory but disappointing. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
All basic interest, to say nothing of excitement, is sapped whenever the big, brutal battle sequences come to a halt and inane dialogue takes over. Full Review |

|
2.5/5 |
What killed this film in the theater was the lack of plot. Full Review |
||
|
44/100 |
It's a movie that belies its title, showing neither a strong sense of direction nor the drive to do anything other than display a whole lot of slashing and stabbing. Full Review |
||
 3/5 |
For all its flaws, Pathfinder is a unique little action film. Full Review |
||
|
|
Boasting a prettified brutality that rivals that of 300, Pathfinder also explores a similar theme, the manly pursuit of revenge at any cost. Full Review |

0/5 |
I was so irritated that I paid money to see this that I snuck into two movies afterward to feel better about my investment. Boooooooooring. Full Review |
