Leave your thoughts about Reprisal.
| CinemalogueTodd JorgensonThoroughly uninspired and laughably incoherent, this low-budget parade of cops-and-robbers clichés is an embarrassment for all involved. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonReprisal is not a very good movie, but it leaves you with tantalizing hints that some people involved with it are capable of doing something much better. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThere’s virtually nothing to distinguish Reprisal from a thousand other cop-vs-robber B pictures, except for the violence. |
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshAll in all, just another boring genre exercise. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckGrillo uncharacteristically displays no charisma, although considering the material he's working with, it's not surprising that he looks like he simply gave up. Speaking of giving up, Willis, who provides a few sparks to the otherwise lamentable Death Wish remake, here reverts to his by now usual phoning it in. |
| Village VoiceCraig D. LindseyIt’s downright sad watching Willis go all half-assed in another movie. I guess we’re gonna have to wait for Glass to come out next year to see if Willis can do a movie in whole-assed form again. |
| Film Journal InternationalMaitland McDonaghThe bottom line is that Reprisal is an extremely silly movie doing its damnedest to look tough and gritty and clever, none of which it is. In fact, it’s both tediously formulaic and weirdly puzzling. |
| Tribune News ServiceRick BentleyThrough it all, Willis looks like he's late to cash his check. |
| New York TimesBen KenigsbergEven those inclined to sympathize with that premise politically may feel insulted by the plot hole-a-palooza offered here to support it. |
| RogerEbert.comChristy LemireA blandly gritty piece of late-August mayhem that’s as forgettable as its generic title. |
