Reindeer Games

Pros: Good cast, a few action scenes
Cons: Lots and lots

Reindeer Games tries to be like a Quentin Tarantino movie, in that every character is a crook in one way or another, and there is lots of dry humor to be found in the dialogue and mannerisms. Too bad this one doesn't succeed very well. The acting isn't...

Pros: Potential, small but untapped.
Cons: Oh, so many, many things.

We’ve all made our fair share of mistakes in life. I once chose not to go to a concert featuring The Clash and The Who, which turned out to be the last world tour for both bands. A friend of mine once tried to test whether his battery was low by...

Pros: Lot of plot twists
Cons: You must watch the movie from start to finish

Would you lie about your identity in order to be with someone for one night?

How would you prove who you really are once a mistaken identity puts you in a bad situation?

Would you play a game if that same mistaken...

Pros: Great Actors!!
Cons: Aweeee...... The Music!!

I was totally surprised that this movie was only recommended 48% of the time, but I guess that is why we have epinions. I brought this VHS movie home from West Coast Video on buy two get two free night. I might not have if I had listened to the...

Pros: excitment great twist in the movie
Cons: NONE

Reindeer Games is a movie with Ben Affleck who plays the role of (Rudy Duncan). Rudy is sentenced to prison for car theft. He becomes friends with a cellmate named Nick who is in prison for robbery.

Nick was corresponding back and forth...

Pros: Ben Affleck
Cons: slow beginner

Recently I decided to Purchase " Reindeer Games" on DVD. Although the majority of the community appears to think the movie was sub par, I have a totally different opinion of the matter. Unsure of exactly what to expect I sat down to watch the...

Pros: Theron, Affleck and Sinise
Cons: Screenplay, violence and gore

And maybe a few in Frankenheimer's brain. I can't go with the flow and hate this movie. There are some things I like. It features three of the most interesting current film personalites, Ben Affleck, Charlize Theron, and Gary Sinise. The photography and...

Pros: Decent action sequences and some funny dialogue.
Cons: Weak script that gets way too far-fetched at times.

It's a good bet that some parents who are getting harried at this point with all the holiday shopping, may decide to get a nice Christmas video for your kids to watch. If you are in that situation, I can think of several ones to recommend. Reindeer Games...

Pros: Intriguing premise... dead santa's anyone?
Cons: Everything is woefully underused, from the plot to the action sequences, to a lumpen finale

You really have to wonder what on earth they take us for, these Hollywood types. Judging by recent examples, “nodding dogs” would seem a fair description; a world of perpetual sycophants who’ll quite happily eat up whatever bile they throw at us and –...

Pros: I'm trying. . . but can't think of any
Cons: Name something from the movie. Anything. It's a "con".

I hate giving bad movie reviews. I consider myself a generally nice person. I do Meals on Wheels. I help old ladies cross the street. I open orphanages with the paltry wages I earn as a librarian. And most importantly, I don't like to talk bad about...

Pros: Charlize Theron is good looking, it isn't really boring at least
Cons: ridiculous plot twists, illogical, copies other movies

It's not like I watched this movie expecting a quality piece of filmmaking, based on reviews I'd read and its realitively disappointing performance at the box office. But, that said, I have to say that this movie takes plot gaps and continuity problems...

Pros: Ben Affleck, entertaining
Cons: many mistakes made in movie

I couldn't believe all the negative reviews written about this movie. I found the movie very interesting and it kept my attention well. Sure, some of the parts were very unlikely to happen and involved a lot of coincidence, but overall I enjoyed the...

Pros: Unintentional laughs, a few good action scenes.
Cons: The silly plot twists are ultimately annoying.

Watching Reindeer Games, I got the distinct impression that the script was originally intended to be filmed as an animated feature. I've seen episodes of Tiny Toons that pay more attention to logic, plot continuity, and acting performances. This movie...

Pros: Acting
Cons: Characters, Plot twists, Editing

"Reindeer Games" might have been a good, groundbreaking film . . . once. The fact is, I've seen everything in this film before. And the other places I've seen it, well, they were better. If you're considering seeing "Reindeer Games" save yourself...

Pros: Good plot twists
Cons: Not very memorable characters

I have to admit I wanted to watch Reindeer Games because I like looking at Charlize Theron. It didn't matter what kind of movie she was in.

But I was actually surprised with Reindeer Games. It wasn't that bad. Theron plays Ashley, a woman who,...
