Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com 5d
2.5/4
It is a tough, grisly Western that overplays the grisliness a little too often for its own good. Go to Full Review
Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media 1d
3/5
This Civil War-era Western, which is centered around two smart women, unfortunately gets a bit stale in the final stretch, but until then it's a gripping cat-and-mouse story. Go to Full Review
Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 5d
Through its harsh terrain and rustic landscapes, the film conveys a sense of desolation and despair yet ultimately lacks the ingenuity of its resilient and resourceful heroine. Go to Full Review

3/4
Conflict is inevitable in The Isolate Thief. That gives this claustrophobic Western ... a genuine sense of tension. Go to Full Review
Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall 6d
3/5
Director John Suits and writer Kevin Lefler have created a nicely contained drama with vivid characters who seem to be capable of doing pretty much anything. Go to Full Review
Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Jul 8
A gritty and intense, but monotonous, uninspired and by-the-numbers Western action thriller. Go to Full Review

Daniel 22h Slow, but kept me interested. See more jesse v 1d glad to see Mackenzie Kay back after a decade, but with a cast of only 5-6 people, the western secretive rich story wanes thin. There are some editing inconsistencies and too many pacing mishaps at times. The biggest question is why do the women carry laundry if we don't see the men change clothes. and what happened to the guy's leg in the third act? Every actor's performances were great, just needed more witty action. See more Bryce L @RT09325862 4h For a low-budget Western, The Isolated Thief is a hidden gem I’d definitely recommend. At a brisk runtime, it keeps things tight without feeling rushed. Action is light in the first half, but the back half delivers some solid payoff. The strong acting and well-paced length make it an enjoyable watch overall. See more R C @Rcork 3d Good Movie. Well done well acted. Too bad there wasn’t more advertisement behind this movie. Go see it. See more Matthew 4d Gritty. Excellent cinematography. Good story. Solid characters you get invested in. Well worth a watch. See more Read all reviews
