Reptile (2023)
6/10
Beware of extreme reviews
30 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
People giving this 10/10 can't be taken seriously. This movie doesn't even come close to the quality of a film like Prisoners which is a genuine 10/10.

Likewise people giving this a 1-2/10 are just silly and more likely reflect the reviewers' anger that their expectations given the cast weren't met.

The best reviews here are those giving score between 4-7.

One issue I haven't seen discussed is what the point of Silverstone's character. Her character adds nothing to the plot nor does her relationship with the protagonist add anything to his character. For a relatively long and slow film nearly all her scenes could have be cut.

The other main criticism is one that's perennial in the mystery genre is that if you give too much away the audience gets ahead of of the story, if you obscure more you end up with a Scooby Do-high exposition reveal. This movie suffers from the latter.
