Review of Reptile

Reptile (2023)
decent enough
29 September 2023
I was not holding my breath given the terrible track record Netflix has with movies, but this one was surprisingly watchable. Not a world class thriller, do not get me wrong, but good enough to keep you entertained. Yes, arguably a bit too cardboard with some of the shady characters and cops it throws at you early on, and a average ending, but decent acting by some of the leads and at least a couple of storylines that kept me guessing almost all the way. Del Toro is excellent as always, his character had enough depth, and his acting made the movie. Silverstone was good too, and I particularly enjoyed Eric Bogosian. I thought he was excellent in Billions, and here again his acting is great. Some of the other cops did not quite reach the same level, and I have seen Timberlake act better than this (maybe they should have cast Ryan Philippe to reunite him with his movie mum from Lincoln Lawyer, Frances Fisher). Anyway, I think it is better than most stuff coming out of the Netflix studio pipe, so would recommend to give it a go if you like cop movies and thrillers.
