Customer Reviews of Reindeer Games (Director's Cut)

Directed by John Frankenheimer (Bird Man of Alcatraz, the Island of Dr. Moreau-1996, Ronin) made a fun entertaining but not very believable film. Despite it's cleverly written by Ehren Kruger (Arlington Road, Scream 3, The Ring-2002), which it's full of twists but the film never should have been giving away from the first scene. DVD has an strong anamorphic Widescreen (2.35:1) transfer and an terrific Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. The Director's Cut added 20 Minutes of Addtional Footage. DVD also has an commentary track by the Director, Alternative Footage of the Original Theatrical Scenes and more. Action fans will love this one. Super 35. Grade:B+.

Reindeer Games-A True Suspense Thriller
Reindeer Games, was an interesting thriller. Ehren Kruger
wrote it, he wrote Arlington Road, and was attending Georgetown Day School. For a teenager, those two films where actually well written. Director John Frankenheimer did a fine job directing this film, but unfortunately he passed away. The Director's cut is thrilling and boy is it fun to watch.
Ben Affleck plays Rudy Duncan, who was recently released from prison, his lover or pen pal Ashely is desperatly awaiting his arrival, played by gorgeous Charlize Theoron. Soon, Ashley's brother, amazing Gary Sinise, needs Affleck's character.
Originally, they had planned a heist that would take plan in a casino or actually Affleck's prison mate, did. His prison mate was murdered, while in prison or so I thought. From here we get loud, chaotic pointless violence, that some would find highly entertaining. I think that the performances were great and so was the death-defying action. I enjoyed the film very much. Reindeer Games is rated R for Strong Violence, Language and Sexuality, so possibly not the best choice for young children. The violence is quite intense and strong from loud gunplay to fistfights. The language, well now a days many films contain excessive, needless language. And the sexuality, some what explicit. So, parents watch this one with your kids, probably a very wise and obvious decision to make. Trust me, the director's cut is a lot better than the original version, but maybe not for young children. See Reindeer Games, a good suspense thriller. Now available to own on Video and DVD! GET IT!

SUPERstupid.
This is one of the worst films of its time. I cannot believe Ben Affleck, Gary Sinise, and Charlize Theron have this stinker on their resumes.... it must be an embarrassment for all three of them. The plot is completely implausible from the word go, Affleck's character has about a billion things he could do to escape that we're supposed to believe just never cross his mind, the plot twists are NOT clever (just stupid), there are gun mistakes in the film (guy firing with Uzi, the scene cuts away from him for a second, then cuts back to him and now he has a Mac-10, crap like that), and if you actually make it all the way to the end of the film (I wish to God I hadn't), the ending is so stupid you're like "I cannot believe I suffered through this entire piece of crap for THAT." Skip it...... trust me.
