Review of Reclaim (2014) by Christian C — 28 Aug 2015
Reclaim regurgitates too many cliches and retold yarns to be regarded as reliably realistic in this kidnap double-cross retread. The script is regressive; the dialogue revolting. Cusack was remarkably creepy in his role but was regrettably otherwise terrible as an ersatz conspirator, lacking any credible intelligence, malice or drive.
Cusack's attempted resurgence from the 1980s is a remarkable failure and he should be retired. A recrudescent Phillippe repents for prior bad theatrical renderings indifferently with a repeat performance of countless other films.
Images of Puerto Rico are resplendent, but otherwise this film is recklessly removed from legal realities (no matter how recherche) in the denouement. Final verdict: reject "Reclaim".
