- 50The DissolveChris KlimekThe DissolveChris KlimekThere’s a certain undeniable gravity to John’s tragic arc. But Dawn Patrol feels distended and awkwardly paced despite a lean, 87-minute runtime.
- 40Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshLos Angeles TimesKatie WalshAs over-the-top operatic and inexplicable as Dawn Patrol can be, producer and star Eastwood remains captivating and charismatic, ultimately serving as a grounding element within the swirl of emotional drama and almost saving the film from going overboard.
- 30The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckPlaying like a white-trash Greek tragedy, Dawn Patrol squanders the good will that budding screen heartthrob Scott Eastwood earned for his recent starring turn in "The Longest Ride."
- 30Village VoiceDanny KingVillage VoiceDanny KingThe developments keep getting more outrageous from there, with the psychologies of the characters becoming increasingly bizarre.
- 25Slant MagazineClayton DillardSlant MagazineClayton DillardThe opposite of enlightenment, the film hides its anxieties behind a mélange of third-rate grit and playful xenophobia.
- Dawn Patrol has a lot on its plate and manages to drop it all. The movie deals with themes of xenophobia, murder, revenge and forgiveness, and not one aspect is handled with anything approaching competence. What a dud.
- 12RogerEbert.comPeter SobczynskiRogerEbert.comPeter SobczynskiAn odious stew of murder, revenge, casual racism and overt misogyny that is all the worse because of its apparent celebration of those ingredients.
