Zulu Dawn Ratings & Reviews
Mister Arn
May 22, 2025
"Zulu Dawn" has its moments, but mostly it felt like watching rambling confusion.
The Last Thing I See
Brent McKnight
Rides the line between being a pure artifact of a bygone era-one that depicts a romanticized, unrealistic version of the time-and a modern, revisionist take that strives for a more accurate portrayal of historical reality.
Sarasota Herald-Tribune
Christopher Lloyd
A simple two-act story: Prelude to war, and the war. The former is concerned with a lot of British derring-do and priggish behavior. The latter consists of battle scenes with a lot of kinetic energy but not as much emotional punch as they should have.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A rousing visual spectacle that's a prequel of the Cy Endfield directed Zulu (1964).
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Seen today, it's not only a startling indictment of British imperialism, but it seems a remarkably forward-thinking work.
