Benicio Del Toro gives his best performance since 'Sicario' in this Netflix crime thriller.
This review was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the film being covered here wouldn't exist.There are not many actors who are on the level of Benicio Del Toro. He’s an award winner, has starred in films across various genres, and is likely one of your dad’s favorite actors after he saw the Sicario films in between reruns of Yellowstone on the Paramount Network.
'Reptile' Is a Familiar Story Told Well Reptile is clearly inspired by films like Se7en, Zodiac, or really any David Fincher thriller you can think of. Much like Fincher, Singer comes from a music video background, and you can see his clear admiration for the acclaimed auteur in nearly every frame of the film. While this is a Netflix film, he gives the film a visual style that is extremely satisfying to watch on the big screen.
Of course, with this kind of movie, one should expect a plethora of twists and turns and Reptile definitely delivers on that front. Some of the film’s plot beats go in fairly predictable directions, but it's also not without some memorable surprises. In particular, the film’s final showdown is worth noting as it is one of the most riveting sequences you’ll see all year. Reptile feels fully confident with itself without ever alienating the audience.
Benicio Del Toro Gives His Best Performance Since 'Sicario' One of the more interesting notes to make about Reptile is that it marks Del Toro’s screenwriting debut . It makes perfect sense as the character of Tom Nichols plays to all of Del Toro’s greatest strengths as an actor, resulting in his most exciting and compelling performance since the first Sicario film.
