Desert Warrior Ratings & Reviews
JoBlo's Movie Network
Alex Maidy
At best, Desert Warrior shows that Saudi Arabia can support Hollywood-caliber productions, but it will require better writers to make the finished product more than a moving painting.
InSession Film
Zach Youngs
Desert Warrior functions like a spaghetti western, but unlike those films it doesn't strive to make a unique stamp on its genre, just make a fine film that's enjoyable.
The M Report (WBOC.com)
Marlon Wallace
...Lawrence of Arabia (1962) was an inspiration, a rather obvious one. If I had to compare this film to anything, my comparison would be to Dune (2021) or Star Wars (1977), minus all the science fiction elements.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
The film was shot five years ago and is only reaching theaters now, but it's likely to be swept away as quickly as desert sands.
Geek Vibes Nation
M.N. Miller
Ignore the infamous noise and immerse yourself in an enthralling sword-and-sand spectacle that delivers old-fashioned adventure you can't help but get swept up in.

Rachel Wagner
Nothing memorable about it
Screen Rant
Alex Harrison
Though no disaster, Desert Warrior is probably the last thing its producers wanted from their blockbuster spend: a mostly boring, mostly forgettable movie.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
... impressive more for its scope than its storytelling, which becomes stranded without an oasis in sight.
KKFI-FM (Kansas City)
Russ Simmons
"Desert Warrior" is a historical action flick that desperately wants to be "Lawrence of Arabia," but falls somewhat short.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
Rather than extend the epic sweep of this picture into the cosmic ineffable, he just wants the viewer bouncing along and rooting for its female hero. And the film succeeds admirably in this respect.
AV Club
Monica Castillo
While the story onscreen is dull and the performances uninspired, it's the story around Desert Warrior that solidifies it as a strange chapter in a country's self-promotional history.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
There's some good stuff in Desert Warrior, but you have to wade through a lot of nonsense to get to it.
In Review Online
Joshua Polanski
How many times have you seen hyenas zombified into furry and unstoppable carnivorous weapons of mass destruction? Perhaps there are still some new things under the sun.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
Surely, there's a better approach to this particular story, and ... it would have little or nothing to do with Mackie's character.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
There are highlights to enjoy, but it takes quite a bit of patience to wait for them.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
An intense and occasionally thrilling, but bland and vapid action adventure with great production values.
