Fishing Without Nets Reviews
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
At once busy and simplistic, the movie lacks A Hijacking's suspense and moral urgency and Captain Phillips' fleshed-out performances. What it offers instead is a slick sense of style and a surfeit of credible detail.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Kristin Tillotson
A revealing, moving feature.
Washington Post
Stephanie Merry
Hodierne allows space for the tension to build, and the result is almost sickeningly suspenseful.
The Film Stage
Jordan Raup
Fishing Without Nets provides a thorough examination at the motives of those involved, particularly the group's internal conflicts.
Examiner.com
Travis Hopson
Like a Coen Brothers film set on the high seas, Fishing without Nets thrusts us into a man-made prison of greed, hopelessness, and violence.
Slant Magazine
Nick Prigge
Though this setup is perhaps infused with too much piety, cheating audience empathy toward the main character, it nonetheless generates a compelling air of social fatalism.
Monsters and Critics
Ron Wilkinson
Piracy on the high seas up close and personal.
Under the Radar
Jennifer Chang
While [the movie] builds up to an ending that is superb and harrowing, the greater part of Fishing Without Nets feels like watching a slow drowning.
The Dissolve
Mike D'Angelo
[Hodierne] still manages to fall into the same trap as the other American films on this subject, focusing on individuals rather than group dynamics.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Executed with considerably more polish than the crime at its center, "Fishing Without Nets" turns the hijacking drama into a morally murky contemplation of deprivation and desperation.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
Raw and upsetting ...
Los Angeles Times
Martin Tsai
Does little to expand on the subject.
Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
A tense drama with well drawn characters and only as much action as its story requires.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
Cutter Hodierne makes an accomplished feature debut with this very well-crafted, empathetic hijacking drama.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Charles Mudede
What's the problem? There are so many. For example: The film doesn't at all explain how or why the fish population was depleted or where all of the machine guns are coming from...
Vanity Fair
Matt Patches
Do we really need another Somali pirates movie after Paul Greengrass's superb Captain Phillips? Turns out we do, and Cutter Hodierne's directorial debut Fishing Without Nets almost fits the bill.
