OUR FILM REVIEW

Starring Ben Affleck and Charlize Theron as the leads, and a fine supporting cast of Lieutenant Dan himself, Gary Sinise, Donal Logue, Danny Trejo, and Clarence Williams III. As a lover of Ben Affleck’s career, Reindeer Games is a holiday heist that completely passed me over. Now after watching it’s a fascinating watch full of twists and turns to an exaggerated degree. Included are both the Director's Cut and the Theatrical, however the theatrical is the only upgraded cut. Kino Lorber provided a brand new 4K scan of the original camera negative. While the Director’s Cut allows slightly more time exploring the characters’ motivations and makes for a more satisfying overall experience, the best visual / audio experience is easily with the Theatrical cut of the film. 

 

Receiving both negative reception from audiences and critics alike, this is one Christmas heist most likely not worth spending time with over the holidays. It launches with a solid first act before striking out with a gigantic swing and a miss - all leading up to an explosive finale that unfortunately lands with a thud.
