Among Netflix’s many crimes against artistry (the algorithmic dumping ground they greet their acquisitions with, back in the news: not paying their creatives fairly, etc.), one of the more underrated is their absorption of the trashy, stylish genre programmer. Back in the day, a comically bleak piece of Southern Gothic exploitation like The Devil All the Time or espionage paperback material like The Gray Man would’ve been prime red meat for our sturdiest, practical mid-budget craftsmen to stylistically experiment with and develop their auteurist credentials beyond the music videos and advertisements they were likely discovered through. Under Netflix, films like these now fit into pre-determined algorithmic slots and are given a generic, prestige television autopilot slickness that mutes any potential…
It would have been funny if they'd used a Justin Timberlake song for the detectives ringtone
it was so ambitious it forgot about plot holes

A solid but not spectacular crime thriller that is absolutely elevated by Benicio del Toro’s lead performance. He plays a detective investigating a mysterious murder at one of a local real estate magnate’s properties. But as the facts in the case don’t quite line up, he realizes there may be a much bigger criminal enterprise behind the murder. The film has a bit of a plodding methodical pace, which works to the films detriment. Maybe I’ve watched too many movies, but I thought it was fairly obvious that when we were seeing certain characters on screen, it was solely because it would be revealed that they are involved with the criminal enterprise at the end somehow. I liked the character…
Feels like someone fed Prisoners into an A.I. and told it to make them a movie like that, and out popped Reptile. If you had put this in front of me without the opening or closing credits and asked me who made it, I would have taken one look at the A-list cast, the bloated runtime, and the fact that it’s so sluggishly paced that it seems to be begging you to watch it at 1.25x speed, and said “Netflix.”
