Boston Globe
The story is unique and engaging enough to transcend the uplifting sports-underdog formula. - 60
New York Daily News
As the team gets in shape, a hot new ringer is brought in and the fallen son redeems himself - and director Steve Rash's movie wins us over. - 50
Slant Magazine
Although it adheres to the tried-and-true sports-movie formula of an underdog team striving to overcome their limitations to become winners, Crooked Arrows lacks captivating emotional momentum. - 50
Variety
The story of a ragtag Native American team rediscovering the tribal roots of the game to defeat preppie champions is rife with tired tropes, and lacking in three-dimensional characters or colorful plot-twists. Happily for this Onandaga-financed production and vet director Steve Rash, gifted Native American lacrosse players lend hard-hitting impact to the game scenes. - 50
Los Angeles Times
The result is a well-meaning checklist of a film that lacks sufficient charm or off-the-field vigor to fully score its intended goal. - 50
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Crooked Arrows is no "Rocky." It lacks the emotional momentum required for that. But if it's just light, family-friendly entertainment you want, Crooked Arrows fits the bill. - 40
Time Out
Though the fallout is utterly predictable, director Steve Rash at least brings an engaging fluidity to the high-energy sports scenes. - 40
