'Ivan Sen’s Mystery Road is a Western which observes the conventions of its genre: conflict of law and lawlessness in a remote setting; visible wide landscapes; a central character, the man who rides into town with a mission, a man who holds experience and emotion in reserve; a climactic shoot-out; laconic dialogue all round. Seen from behind, Aaron Pedersen’s Jay Swan has a John Wayne kind of walk; and this film, like many Westerns, looks outward across a realm of historical loss.' (Introduction)
