William Tell's reviews
Media reviews
The Wrap
The film is big, brutal and beautiful — over the top at times and stirring at others.
Empire
This old-fashioned tale of folk heroism and hardy underdogs benefits from solid performances and spectacular vistas, but it loses points for a sequel-baiting ending.?
Time Out
The acting is a bubbling fondue of clashing styles.
Variety
William Tell is most confident when Bang is allowed to commit to pulpy bravado, with long bellows of "No!" and "Go!" and an impressive 6\'4\'\' frame. He\'s the tallest man in all the Alps; in a movie as silly and simple-minded as this one, of course that makes him the hero.
The Playlist
The result, as hinted earlier, is a high-end B-movie that would have been in heavy rotation on cable television\'s TNT or USA Network as a wallpaper movie in the \'00s. And there is something genuinely fun about filmmakers wanting to dip their toes back into those waters. But, for that genre to work, it needs to be less bloated than this and, more importantly, not end by teasing a sequel.
