Review of The Oath (2018)

By Chris Feil (37) for Filmmixtape (19) on 15 Oct 2018

Review of The Oath (2018)

By Kerry Lengel (223) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 15 Oct 2018

Review of The Oath (2018)

By Laura Clifford (2,742) for Reeling Reviews (4,376) on 11 Oct 2018

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 11 Oct 2018

It’s not brash enough to measure up to the very-near-future dystopia of The Purge franchise; it’s also not studied enough as a character…
