Critic Reviews

Variety - Joe Leydon

Reprisal is not a very good movie, but it leaves you with tantalizing hints that some people involved with it are capable of doing something much better. Read full review

Movie Nation - Roger Moore

There’s virtually nothing to distinguish Reprisal from a thousand other cop-vs-robber B pictures, except for the violence. Read full review

Los Angeles Times - Katie Walsh

Aug 30, 2018

All in all, just another boring genre exercise. Read full review

Village Voice - Craig D. Lindsey

It’s downright sad watching Willis go all half-assed in another movie. I guess we’re gonna have to wait for Glass to come out next year to see if Willis can do a movie in whole-assed form again. Read full review

Film Journal International - Maitland McDonagh

Aug 30, 2018

The bottom line is that Reprisal is an extremely silly movie doing its damnedest to look tough and gritty and clever, none of which it is. In fact, it’s both tediously formulaic and weirdly puzzling. Read full review

The New York Times - Ben Kenigsberg

Aug 30, 2018

Even those inclined to sympathize with that premise politically may feel insulted by the plot hole-a-palooza offered here to support it. Read full review

Slant Magazine - Pat Brown

Aug 26, 2018

Reprisal is at pains to profess its faith in the symbols of law and order, but it cannot fully repress its almost erotic longing for the unfettered violence of the terrorist. Read full review

Bruce! Did you read the script? Grillo is a bank exec that experiences a robbery that leads him to hunt down the guy with neighbor Willis. Brittle and fragmented plot at best. Thx God I watched it for free using boxxy software

I was fully aware of where I was getting myself into but no one involved didn't even try a bit.
