Reviews By Critics For 'Beyond the Reach" (2015)
Scott Renshaw | Salt Lake City Weekly
Rich people shouldn't be able to get away with murder, sure, but screenwriters shouldn't be able to get away with this.
Chris Sawin | Examiner.com
Michael Douglas does what he can to breathe life into a stale project,
but he can't save the utterly predictable slope the film slides into.
Beyond the Reach is about as entertaining as a severe case of heat
stroke.
Matt Donato | We Got This Covered
For a film that deals with a desolate, scorching unknown, there sure are a lot of obvious plot notes along the way.
Doris Toumarkine | Film Journal International
Jeffrey M. Anderson | Common Sense Media
It's lost and confused, with its baffling plot turns and character
motivations presented in a straightforward, dead-eyed manner.
Moira MacDonald | Seattle Times
Ultimately, the take-away from "Beyond the Reach" is this: Don't go
into the desert with a guy in a blazer. Even if he offers you a martini.
Simon Abrams | RogerEbert.com
Watching Douglas behave like a narcissistic scumbag is an absolute
pleasure, one in which viewers of action-adventure "Beyond the Reach"
can happily indulge.
Brad Wheeler | Globe and Mail
Gary Goldstein | Los Angeles Times
"Beyond the Reach" is a grueling, unsatisfying thriller that fails the logic test in spectacular ways.
Beyond the Reach Movie Review By MDBReviews
Beyond the Reach's one triumph is strikingly photogenic, if totally shallow. As Jeremy Irvine's Ben runs, lurks, and once in a while slithers through the Mojave Desert in only his undies, the soil and dust of the earth, alongside the ruthlessly blazing forces of the sun above, wondrously feature the performer's lean, strong middle. Implying that Jean-Baptiste Léonetti's film will principally have esteem as a direction manual for the cosmetics group on the 300 establishment
When Ben is charged with taking Michael Douglas's slimy moneybags, Madec, out into the desert on a hunting trip, things begin innocently, though weirdly, from the hotshot Cali douchebag rattling off how expensive his shit is to pushing his good-ol'-boy companion to join him in an impromptu impersonation of Wall-E and Eva's famous meet-cute. The odd couple shares a laugh, but their shared interest in the Pixar film isn't enough for them to coolly deal with Madec's accidental shooting and subsequent murder of a desert hobo, Charlie (Martin Palmer), with whom Ben shares a history.
One thing slowly prompts another, and in the wake of driving Ben to take off his garments and hightail it over the desert and toward a probably sun-seared and ultra-got dried out death, Madec generally rulers outside his $500,000 gas-chugging, coffee making beast driving machine while articulating one-liners from the '80s psycho-executioner playbook. In the event that all a film required was a kid with abs and a weapon (or slingshot), then Beyond the Reach would be a magnum opus. In any case for its languidly mandatory determination and cartoonish delineation of the apparently hopeless distinction of the rich-poor gap, also its blunderously aestheticized tackle the ingenious Ben and smarmy Madec's round of feline and mouse, every irregular zoom and incidentally beautiful overheads, the film uncovers itself as more deadly than sunstroke.
