Reviews

The Horde, also known as Орда, received mixed reviews from critics upon its release. While some praised the film for its stunning cinematography and intense action sequences, others criticized its slow pace and lack of character development. Peter Bradshaw from The Guardian gave it a positive review, stating "The Horde is a visually striking film that immerses the audience in a brutal world of conflict and betrayal." On the other hand, Justin Chang from Variety criticized the film for its cliched storyline and one-dimensional characters, giving it a rating of 4/10. Despite the divided opinions, the movie has managed to capture the attention of audiences worldwide, with its intriguing premise and superb performances by Maksim Sukhanov and the rest of the cast.
