Reptile (2023)
9/10
Low ratings must come from Bezos employees
1 October 2023
An intense thriller: well written, perfectly acted and with a sound background music (pun intended).

Plot isn't unpredictable but this is not surprising, given the number of movies we all watch these days. And in any case you won't see where it is going for a long, long time..

Everybody did well but Benicio del Toro not only stole the scene but also significantly contributed to the story, to the point they had to include him in the credits as a cowriter.

For director Grant Singer, who previously directed music videos only, this was a debut (a very good one, I'd say). And he also (together with Benjamin Brewer) wrote the story.

Everybody is entitled to his own opinion, of course, and the exact value of this artistic effort is open to discussion but ratings in the binary system are unjustified...

Enjoy.
