karma-08218 I honestly only got through about a half hour of this dumpster fire of a movie. The acting was awful, the scenarios were just so ridiculously unrealistic, and the story to this point was not even interesting. Maybe it gets better, but I honestly don't see how. The characters were all pretty much garbage so I couldn't see myself caring about what happened to any of them. Save your time and avoid this one.

jessicavienne An essential in Danny Trejo's filmography because it gives audiences a chance to enjoy not only his usual badass style but also his rarely heralded acting chops, which he gets to employ here playing a sympathetic and well-rounded character who is still a tough guy! The rest of the cast (Beesley, Jurdi, and the always fun Vinnie Jones) provide ample support, but rest assured, this is Trejo's show.

nurpin Unreal! This is absolutely one of the worst movies I have seen! I can't believe that IMDb allows so many FAKE positive reviews! So hopefully this will serve as a warning....This is why Reaper is so bad: Very Bad Writing Very Bad Story Very Bad Dialogue Very Bad Acting Bad DirectingSPoILERS Coming --- But trust me there is no way this movie could spoil any more-- it smells like it's been spoiled for years! Like it seriously STINKS!The first half of the movie looks like it is about a serial killer and focuses on a hotel clerk, who has "delusional vision" and sparks blue lightning, while killing patrons supposedly in the name of God. In the meantime we see a trashy young girl tricking a guy (Jake B) into going to the killer clerk's hotel, she steals his money, runs off and the clerk kills the guy. She meets up with another guy (the crappy writer of the movie), steals his huge bag of money and runs off with his car, only to break down and get into another guy's car (Danny T), who ends up at the same psycho clerk's hotel-- again. Suddenly, and for no apparent reason, about halfway through the movie, a ghostly reaper, that seems to be spouting the same blue electricity the hotel clerk does, appears and disappears in a puff of smoke, until he finally kills the hotel clerk and seems to go after the last three people(Crappy writer, Danny T, and Trashy Girl). But in a weird twist, the reaper walks into a puddle, when he's going after Danny T, and seems to electrocute himself, making you now believe the reaper is a real guy dressed like a reaper but then making you wonder why he was able to disappear and reappear in smoke form. okeeee. Crappy Writer shoots Danny T, is killed by the reaper and a ridiculous and stupid ending happens --- Finally for some weird reason, the trashy girl is mysteriously chained to a bunch of crap, reaper puts a wire necklace around her neck and Danny T comes up behind the reaper and shoves his head in a --- a what? A barrel of water that just happens to be sitting nearby in what now looks like a church, with pews and everything... huh? WTH?! Okay, so a combo of the reapers own electricity shocking himself and Danny T drowning him in the barrel of water has caused the magical and now possibly human reaper to die. And finally the trashy girl drives off and picks up a hitchhiker when she leaves....the end.... until after the credits when the magical human reaper wakes up from his shocking face bath.This movie made no sense! It was sooooo stupid! First its about a serial killer, then about a supernatural reaper, who really seems human when he electrocutes himself and then is drowned and electrocuted but comes back to life like he really was magical in the first place. The bad actors in between all that nonsense really don't do too much for the movie and just listening to their horrible dialogue was torture enough.AVOID THIS MOVIE UNLESS YOU ARE A MASOCHIST! This movie is torture to watch.

moonie-02272 Straight off the bat, people are gonna rip this film for advertising itself as one thing and turning out to be not quite what was expected. So for those of you who haven't seen it... SPOILER ALERT... it doesn't feature that much of the Reaper and it doesn't have THAT much horror in it. Also, some of the better known actors in the film (Trejo, Vinnie, Busey) don't cross paths. There, relieved that all that's off my chest. Clearly, the marketing team behind this film felt it necessary to throw a lot of red herrings our way in the ads, and for the most part I think people aren't gonna take too kindly to it. BUT... that being said... if the above mentioned elements do not tick you off, then guess what... the film's NOT BAD! In fact, I thought it was pretty good entertainment- - A cool female-empowerment drug deal gone wrong at a haunted motel type thriller. The performances were solid, the twists and turns serviceable, and overall I enjoyed the show. Just beware that it's not exactly the show that was marketed, but that's not necessarily a bad thing in this case.
