Also giving The Unholy Trinity a “fresh” review on RT is Glenn Kenny of RogerEbert.com, who writes, “The movie’s not a barn-burner or future classic, but new Westerns are thin on the ground these days, and this ultimately is a better-than-decent one.”
Among the top critics on RT who give The Unholy Trinity a “rotten” rating is William Bibbiani of The Wrap, who writes, “They’re all trying to make a meal out of starvation rations. The cast’s efforts aren’t in vain, and the film is better for having them, but a thing can get a whole lot of ‘better’ before it gets ‘good.’”
Jordan Mintzer of The Hollywood Reporter also gives The Unholy Trinity a “rotten” review on RT, writing that the film “brings nothing original to the table, rehashing movies we’ve seen before and doing it in a way that feels altogether generic.”
