Hammer Ratings & Reviews
Vague Visages
Bill Bria
It's a refreshing change from the sprawling crime sagas of late, telling a story in a minimal amount of time without sacrificing richness, nuance or emotion.
Double Toasted
Martin Thomas
One of my favorite movies I've seen lately, but there is no getting around that low budget...
Double Toasted
Korey Coleman
I really liked the feel of it, but it's something much better to watch at home.
The Lens
Andrew Wyatt
The film's excellent lead performances and artful execution distinguish it from comparable generic offerings, but what leaves the most striking impression is the emotional entry point that Sparkes finds into the story.
Film Threat
Nick Rocco Scalia
Hammer has the mechanics of a hard-edged noir thriller, which works startlingly well, but it's clear that Sparkes's heart, and therefore the film's, is centered on the distressed familial relationships.
We Live Entertainment
Aaron Neuwirth
There can be a lot to like about a straightforward thriller that shaves off all the fat it can.

I would watch Will Patton in anything but this film tested my limits.
Dr. Filmlove's Film Reviews and Ratings
Luke Parker
It possesses such a strong understanding of its characters that if its half-dead catalyst was sprawled out in their living room instead of a cornfield, the heart behind the decisions wouldn't flake.
Spectrum Culture
Dominic Griffin
A tense and economical thriller the indie marketplace could sure use more of.
Film Legacy
Daniel Eagan
A gritty film noir about petty crooks on the US/Canadian border, Hammer builds a persuasive sense of desperation.
The Hollywood Outsider
Amanda Sink
Hammer nails it in with a suspenseful story, thrilling leads, and a fascinating conversation around a topic so few dive into.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
A tense little thriller, a tight movie about someone who made a very bad decision and is now trying to fight his way out of it.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
[W]riter/director Christian Sparkes' film [is] a relatively simple thriller that works because it defines its characters and their relationships so clearly.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
A throwback to the old-fashioned, lean and mean programmers that Hollywood used to pump out with regularity in the '40s and '50s.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
Writer-director Christian Sparkes' second feature plays it straight, narrowly evading viewer disbelief via strong principal performances and sufficiently urgent execution.
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
The characters are not especially interesting, the storyline is equally one-dimensional, and when the whole thing finally comes to an end, it will inspire little more than shrugs from most viewers.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
Won't win any awards for originality, but it's a compact little double-cross drug drama with some good performances to help it along.
MovieWeb
Julian Roman
How far will a father go to protect the life of a criminal son? Hammer is an intense crime thriller adroitly interwoven with a compelling family drama.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
At only 82-minutes, Hammer contains very little that isn't meticulously drawn by Sparkes as relevant to the whole-[most] occurring on the edge between rage and forgiveness.
The Hollywood News
Joey Magidson
"Hammer" is a short film, but it drags its feet getting to the sort of conclusion you see coming from a mile away.
