I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I personally enjoyed it, maybe it's not a 9/10 but it's really good Final seines are amazingVery good action thriller kind of movie, it exceeded my expectationsfun and twisty, and I usually know what is the end gonna be like in these kind of movies, but I didn't expect the ending not like that. Don't have anything else to say, but watch it and you will not be wasting your time at allThank for reading

When I lived in Prince George Canada,I saw most of the mediocre film in production as it was mostly shot in my neighborhood.Went to the cinema to see it out of curiosity and was most disappointed.Best part? Meeting Ben and getting his autograph. And it was funny to see April in British Columbia been turned into Michigan in December with the help of sacks of white stuff called Snow Business! One of the crew gave my daughter a hat that had the name of the film on it.Crews all get those for all the films they're working on.He wasn't supposed to give it away.but it was plain,Demetrius rather fancied my pretty daughter,Christie.She also saw it in the theater with me and was also quite disappointed.Seeing familiar places from our 'hood was a novelty.

The action in "Reindeer Games" takes place at Christmastime and this is also probably the best time of the year to watch the movie as it's funny, entertaining and best appreciated at a time when your critical faculties are not at their sharpest!! This slick thriller is action-packed and fast moving but also tense and very violent at times. The plot is complicated by numerous twists, mistaken identities and double-crosses and also a bunch of characters that are often very unpredictable. Characters called Rudy and Nick and a soundtrack full of Christmas songs contribute to the strong Christmas theme which is maintained throughout and the regular humorous moments provide an effective counterpoint to some of the more unsavoury things that happen on screen.Rudy (Ben Affleck) and Nick (James Frain) are a couple of cell-mates who are serving out their final few days in prison. Nick has, for some time, been corresponding with a young woman called Ashley (Charlize Theron) and tells Rudy how much he's looking forward to meeting up with her when he's released. Rudy replies that he's simply looking forward to going home and enjoying some pecan pie and hot chocolate.Shortly before he's due to leave prison, Nick gets killed in a mass brawl during which he also saves Rudy's life but as Ashley knows nothing of this, she waits outside the prison for him on the day when he's scheduled to be released. When Rudy leaves the prison and sees the beautiful Ashley, he decides to assume Nick's identity and the two of them then leave for a passionate evening at a nearby motel. Their fun soon comes to an abrupt end, however, when Ashley's psychopathic brother Gabriel (Gary Sinise) and his gang suddenly turn up.Gabriel knows from reading Nick's correspondence, that he used to work at a casino and now wants to make use of his knowledge of the business to enable him and his gang to rob the place. Rudy tries to explain that he's not Nick but Gabriel won't believe him and Rudy soon realises that even if he convinces Gabriel that he's not Nick, he will probably be shot because, as Rudy, he would be of no value to Gabriel. A series of rapid developments follow and Rudy winds up participating in the casino heist with the rest of the gang who are all dressed in Santa Claus outfits. Further surprises then follow before Rudy's nightmare finally comes to an end."Reindeer Games" gets off to a really intriguing start when the dead bodies of a number of Santa Clauses are seen lying in the snow and the story that led up to this situation is then told in flashback. The plot twists that follow produce a number of funny and surprising situations until the story finally concludes in a way which doesn't really bear too much scrutiny.Ben Affleck is tremendous as the unfortunate Rudy who, after making a bad decision to impersonate Nick, finds himself in more trouble and danger than he could ever have imagined. Charlize Theron is consistently good as the femme fatale who goes through a number of shocking changes and Gary Sinise looks incredibly evil and menacing as the villain of the piece.

Upon release from prison, a man assumes the identity of his dead cell mate so that he can hook up with his hot pen pal. This film produces a high quotient of groans and rolling of the eyes. It starts with a ridiculous premise and then ratchets the narrative to preposterous levels with stupid plot twists on top of twists that make no sense. Frankenheimer made some terrific films in the 1960s, but his career has gone downhill from there. His action scenes are clumsily executed and he overuses closeups and tilted camera angles. Affleck is rather bland as the hapless hero. Sinise overacts as a sinister criminal. Theron looks nice.
