The performances are mediocre, with D'Onofrio coming across as comically theatrical. Yelchin as Jakey is comatose.

[A] weirdly baroque modern-day Western that, while it boasts undeniably imaginative visual and plot flourishes, is far too absurd to take seriously.

Mr. Yelchin's character looks somewhat at a loss about what goes on here, and who can blame him, especially when he visits the former music teacher who has lost his legs in a run-in with the bad guys and now lives in a house warmed by a flaming barrel.

[It] has a couple of effective scenes of coiled-up tension and suitably moody chiaroscuro work by cinematographer Tim Stern, but it always feels like a very early draft of the story that eventually became Chopra's professional zenith.

It's hard to tell if the film is an unfunny joke or an earnest failure, but ham-fisted symbolism and sloppy plotting rule regardless.

For those who have already been blown away by Chopra's original, Broken Horses pales in comparison.

Cain and Abel and Mice And Men meet up with boot-kickin' Rain Man in this silly fairy tale. Watch it after you've seen all other movies

EXCELLENT movie. Other reviews here are senseless; RT always is! Ha! Outstanding performance by Vincent D’Onofrio; others are good. Movie has several jaw-dropping scenes. Watch it & decide for yourself.

A good movie that keeps you in suspense until the end. The story is simple but effective, and while the acting isn’t outstanding, it works well enough. Once again, critics were too harsh—Broken Horses deserves better ratings

This is seriously way more entertaining than It Follows. Its sad to see this movie gets <50% rating from Rotten Tomatoes critics while a very pathetic movie like It Follows gets >90%.
