Beautiful, moving film.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

This movie is so bland I was able to predict the ending with the first 2 minutes. The characters are forgettable, Michael Douglas is far from believable and the story line is something out of a bad B movie. Except this is a bad B movie. The best part of this movie is watching a weird Mercedes SUV vroom around with sound efx that were taken from a Harley Davidson on a steroid meth cocktail. If you want to watch some no-name walk around the desert half naked while Micheal Douglas drinks scotch, go for it. Make sure you have your phone in hand so you can scroll through FB or IG while this borefest is looming in the background. There are way better movies to Netfix and chill with.

When the big production houses along with the great filmmakers and young stars turning towards the comic books and dystopian themes, what do you think the yesteryear legends are doing.It is very sad to see the 70s, 80s and the 90s icons are discarded like a trash, but they're trying their best to keep the star status by doing small scale films from the lower rated and debuting filmmakers. That's the best shot they've got which obviously won't do well at the big screens. So that's where this film too comes in.As usual Michael Douglas was good, but the story had many possible ways to travel and that's where the viewers raise their voice by saying it should have been like this, like that or why would he do that.Overall, its a decent entertainment that is kind of closest theme to 'No Country for Old Men'. The entire film revolves around just two men and sets in the desert. So a minimal cast film.Based on the book 'Deathwatch'. A simple story, but quite interesting film characters. Filled with fairly predictable stuffs yet the performances and very suitable locations are what draws us in.It's a right kind of project for Michael Douglas for his age, but the 'War Horse' actor was also good in his role. An average film, or maybe just above that. If you skip it, you would miss nothing, but if you give it a try, I think that's not a bad idea too.6/10

Sometimes something is not out of reach. Sometimes you wonder how it's possible for someone not to be able to hit something when earlier in the movie that didn't seem to be a problem. And still while the movie tries to break predictability towards the end (which I kind of would have dug, going a different route), in the end it turns out it just used a different way to get to the result everyone should expect.Michael Douglas is mesmerizing even when "being" evil (if you can call it that), though it feels comical at times. Not in the best way possible. It's almost like a theater piece with two men having to survive against many odds ... does it work? Occasionally and there is tension and it is interesting to some degree ...

Having watched The Naked Prey(1966), this film is a welcome edition to the genre. The film is about a shooting accident, that results in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse between two very different men.Businessman and game hunter John Madec(Michael Douglas), hires a young but experienced hunting guide Ben(Jeremy Irvine) out to a field trip beyond the reaches of the Mojave Desert to hunt game.When Madec accidentally shoots an old prospector, Ben insists that they must report it as an accident. Madec, on the other hand, puts another bullet from Ben's gun into the corpse, and after explaining how he can now blackmail Ben with the new evidence, offers Ben a deal: Madec will put him through college and give him a $300k/year job in return for his complicity in covering up the crime. But when Ben picks up his emergency transponder, Madec destroys it and berates Ben for breaking the deal. Madec then threatens Ben with his high-powered rifle, and orders him to strip all of his gear including his clothes, then leaves him in the desert to die of dehydration and exposure.Watch the film to find out what happens next...Everything in this film is top-notch, from the acting, photography, background sound-effects and direction. This is a polished script and well executed by French director Jean-Baptiste Léonetti who has directed the acclaimed French drama Carré blanc (2011). Beyond The Reach is based on the 1972 novel Deathwatch by Robb White. The film is produced by Michael Douglas, showing that he has faith in the film doing well at the Box-Office.Verdict: 10/10. I got my money's worth and more. More survival films: Dawn Of The Dead(1978), Friday the 13th (1980), The Evil Dead(1981), The Thing (1982), Aliens(1986), Predator(1987), A Cry in the Wild(1990), Tremors(1990), The Edge(1997), Cast Away(2000).Thanks for reading, may you live long and prosper.
