Critics Consensus

Let Him Go's uneven blend of adult drama and revenge thriller is smoothed over by strong work from a solid veteran cast.

Costner does the world-weary cowboy very well, with very good support...and a very good score.

It’s a hard-hitting drama, super suspenseful, and it really goes places.

4/5

This is as much a portrait of a marriage, as it is a slow-burn thriller about custody, and it is every bit as tender as it is tense.

Unlike many neo-westerns, which bandy hollow notions of ‘civilization’ that play out on the film’s surface, Let Him Go runs a classical plot through a refined image of modern society.

A thriller with lacking thrills! Half baked character development, and very implausible scene in hotel room and at the ranch home of demented family, ruined much. A potential story line, yet never really carried out to fruition.

Just enough action and just enough intrigue. Diane Lane is o e of my favorite actresses. I also like how it wasn’t the perfect happy ending you always anticipate in movies.
