Review of The Oath (2018)

By Eric D. Snider (2,489) for Crooked Marquee (120) on 29 Oct 2018

Review of The Oath (2018)

By David Bax (50) for Battleship Pretension (71) on 24 Oct 2018

Review of The Oath (2018)

By Andrew Parker (194) for The Gate (178) on 22 Oct 2018

Review of The Oath (2018)

By Anne Brodie (132) for What She Said (131) on 21 Oct 2018

Review of The Oath (2018)

By Michael Fairbanks (50) for The Young Folks (1,024) on 21 Oct 2018

Review of The Oath (2018)

By Hector V (168) on 20 Oct 2018

The Oath gets political, and while everyone gets defamed, I can already see many critics arguing the film never takes a stance to say anything…

By David W (2,010) on 19 Oct 2018

Mixed bag. There are some laughs. It did get very violent in the second half and the movie is full of expletives…

Review of The Oath (2018)

By Daniel Barnes (335) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 19 Oct 2018

By Dom Sinacola (87) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 18 Oct 2018

Review of The Oath (2018)

By Richard Roeper (2,737) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 18 Oct 2018
