Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
juneebuggy This wasn't as bad as all the reviews had me believing. Hillary swank does a good job with her role as a former Christian missionary who after the death of her family loses her faith and now spends her time debunking alleged religious miracles. We also get Idris Elba, which is no hardship as her student turned personal assistant and a welcome sighting from the former "Governor" David Morrissey.The story itself is interesting following Swank and Elba into the bible belt of small town Louisiana to investigate a series of biblical plagues. They arrive to prove that a supernatural force is not at work but soon find that science cannot explain what is happening.I wouldn't exactly call this a "horror" movie, sure it maintains a mysterious and spooky atmosphere but its never truly scary its more set up multiple times to be ultra jumpy; things falling, people sneaking up behind, strange dream sequences, a creepy mute girl in the woods.The scenery from the Louisiana bayou is beautiful, and the special effects due to the ten plagues are well done; river of blood, locusts, boils, lice, a priest witnessing strange things, dying cattle. The locusts swarm scene is particularly good. All in its not a great movie and not super scary but still worth a watch. 11/3/16
Davis P Hillary swank didn't really do a great job carrying the lead role in this movie to be honest. The script is alright, it's not exactly award winning, it's really kinda lazy at times, too many clichés as well. The special effects might be the worst thing about The Reaping, the effects are just really weak and fake looking. The plot had some serious potential, but unfortunately, in my opinion, it was wasted. This movie may attract some horror, thriller fans, but do not be deceived by its somewhat cool look, this movie is just not nearly as good as you might think it is. There are so many better films of this genre that are far better. 3/10 for The Reaping.
jessegehrig The shock ending is telegraphed in the first ten minutes of the movie. As a matter of fact every point of the plot is telegraphed to you through out the entirety of this "film". The PG-13 rating doesn't help, it automatically limits its audience to people who cant get into an R rated movie. A PG-13 rating also limits the plot to some watered down toothless drivel so as to comply with the Ratings Board. I don't know, I guess if you want to have a church youth group lock-in in the church's basement, like you could show this movie and no one would be too frightened or offended, is that a compliment or an insult? I don't know, maybe your'e on some weird airplane that shows movies from the early 2000's and your choices are The Reaping or For The Love Of The Game, I guess you could do worse than this movie.
rudy23-87-18153 I love Hillary Swank......we all do. This film, regardless of the medium level content was pure and simply: a showcase for Hillary Swanks body....not her acting as the action over shadowed any real acting. It's an action film, an in-credible, boring film all only about Hillary's skin tight clothes. I enjoyed that but it got old after a short time. She must have better scripts!!!!! The script is absurd and the acting all around is mediocre. Every scene is designed around Hillary Swank's body. She acts in a minimal way as the absurd action does not really allow for even one good monologue or real acting. I didn't understand why "Hollywood" can't find better films for A TWO TIME Oscar WINNER.
