Review of Reptile

Reptile (2023)
7/10
A descent movie with Benicio Del Toro in a superb role
4 May 2024
Greetings from Lithuania.

Reptile (2023) was a descent detective thriller with simple story yet it had somehow a convoluted storytelling. The real draw to this movie and basically what carried it for me was Benicio Del Toro. He was a terrific here and created a real great presence, even when the storytelling sometimes suffered. This is a great performance that glued this movie together. His chemistry with Alicia Silverstone (!) was solid. Justin Timberlake was cast basically for his name - he brings nothing to the role and while its not bad by any means, he is forgettable. And its a shame that Domenick Lombardozzi (The Wire) does not gets many roles - he was great in this one.

Overall, only for Benicio Del Toro you could watch this movie because he is terrific. This is a descent story and pretty good movie overall to see it once.
