Review of Reclaim

I remember a big amount of Ryan Phillipe direct to DVD and VOD on demand films came out around this time including this one. I also remember wanting to see them all. The cast here is small, but recognizable. It's directed by Alan White who has a few films under his belt of which I never heard of besides this one. Luke Davies also wrote the Academy Award nominated Lion which I wasn't expecting. This however is the only credit for Carmine Gaeta. Anyways let's see if this is actually any good.

Well to be honest it was pretty boring and felt too long. I also didn't really care for John Cusack here. He just came off as rather annoying. I think everyone else did a decent job with what they had. The story is really predictable and I'm not sure if they meant it to be so obvious or not. It's not the worst thing I have seen, but it could have been better. I did like how they ended it. You wouldn't think this was written by an Academy Award nominee though.

So this was a pretty average and kind of boring thriller. It wasn't too original either sadly. The acting was fine except John Cusack felt odd here. Not much really happened for it to be as long as it was. I'd say give this one a skip.
