Reviews
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Izzy Adkins The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.
Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
karma-08218 I honestly only got through about a half hour of this dumpster fire of a movie. The acting was awful, the scenarios were just so ridiculously unrealistic, and the story to this point was not even interesting. Maybe it gets better, but I honestly don't see how. The characters were all pretty much garbage so I couldn't see myself caring about what happened to any of them. Save your time and avoid this one.
jessicavienne An essential in Danny Trejo's filmography because it gives audiences a chance to enjoy not only his usual badass style but also his rarely heralded acting chops, which he gets to employ here playing a sympathetic and well-rounded character who is still a tough guy! The rest of the cast (Beesley, Jurdi, and the always fun Vinnie Jones) provide ample support, but rest assured, this is Trejo's show.
nicolecc-50474 Went into this expecting very little but was quite surprised to discover that it was far less gory and way more interesting than initially suspected. I think the advertising here actually didn't do justice to the film because it comes off as a cliché slasher romp from the marketing but it's actually a twisty crime thriller with some supernatural shades. The cast really holds it together nicely, creating an ensemble of refreshingly flawed characters who are playing a dangerous game of survival of the fittest. Genre vets Trejo and Jones are always welcome additions to this kind of material, and they do as good a job as can be expected. Overall "Reaper" isn't quite what was expected, in a good way.
swchamberlain I am not really sure what everyone else was watching on here but I could have written better material if I ties a pencil, and piece of paper, to my nether regions and ran on the treadmill for an hour. First and foremost I only rented this movie because of the description, which has nothing, and I mean nothing, to do with the movie what so ever. It's even worse in Redbox than it is here, the description says a man was wrongly accused and executed for a crime which he did not commit and it unleashed a spirit that descends upon an unsuspecting town full of criminals who have to band together ....or something like that. Not even close to what the movie is about. There is no wrongly accused anything, no spirit, we can only assume the movie starts off weeks after the movies description so that's already over and done with and no recap on what has already transpired to get to this point. There is no story, except for the here and now, basically a bunch of people arguing who are just as clueless of whats going on as the audience, no information leading up to what has happened, no closure, just a bunch of over dramatic, over exaggerated actors, who keep you guessing on what is happening. You can kind of piece together what was in the movie, towards the end, but it takes you a bit since there really is no closure of any sort. We did, however, get a lot of smug grins from the characters despite what had just happened, ten minutes beforehand, like they are top dog in the locker room at a high school basketball game, or something, and when they really did nothing but argue scream and cry through the entire ordeal. Now, I understand this was a low budget film, and I am a big fan of a lot of low budget movies, but this was so unrealistic it was kind of watching the old revenge of the killer tomatoes with the original nightmare on elm street blood and gore.....At least attack of the killer tomatoes was entertaining ... Lame!
