I'm on the fence with the rating, but since I haven't seen anything of quality from a similar subgenre in a while I'm leaning towards a four. The film does have a distinctive atmosphere, beautiful locations, fine visuals, great bad guys and, most importantly, rawness, drive and decent brutality. There could have been a bit more action, but it’s still decent. 70%

I like movies that draw from real environments, history, and culture, and use a language that isn't English and doesn't quite fit into the given setting. Maori culture is certainly fascinating, which this film also showcases. But the most intriguing aspect here is the fights, which are truly superbly filmed. And yes, they are brutal as hell.
