Rating: 4/5 -- Well-paced, nicely shot, and smart enough to give each member of the ensemble a few moments to shine. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- There's definitely something refreshing about seeing a full-blown retro crime thriller, but Oren Shai's feature directorial debut is reduced to a mere novelty because there's so little access to the main characters. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- The Frontier is a blast from the past as far as suspenseful thrillers go, but it's not an entirely invigorating one. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- The Frontier serves as an excellent showcase for its actors as well as a striking calling card for Shai's directorial chops. However, the flaws in its storytelling and character development do keep it from being as great a film as it could have been. Full Review

Director Oren Shai steadily builds a timeless pulp world, one that purloins from 30s seedy gangsters, 50s greasers, and 70s slick crime. Full Review

An appreciably moody but dramatically stilted crime drama that exudes a certain retro appeal before collapsing into a series of empty neo-noir poses. Full Review
