Chris B @Papa13070 20h This Movie was amazing, it is the kind of movie where you watch it and rather than look at other movies by actor you look at other movies by director/ writer. Sandler did a good job working a character outside of his comfort zone and the always good Cheadle did a great job too. This movie is great for a mature intelligent audience. The acting was fantastic and can only be surpassed by the Writing and directing of the film. This film focuses on the real Americans, the past generation, no stereotypes or Racism just people who have come together and realized the true meaning of life. This film is about loss and coping. Instead of picking on Psychiatry, it defines it, not as someone who heals you magically, but rather through the necessity of talking out your feeling to an impartial someone you can trust will not judge you, but rather will guide you though your thoughts. This movie is all round amazing! See more Sharang L @Scribe187 May 14 Hopelessly muddled. The courtroom scenes towards the end are beyond farcical. Sandler's performance is indistinguishable from his various other portrayals of dimwits in comedies, which is a major problem. See more Sam I @SamUSA May 11 I am not a Sandler fan except Spanglish where he and the film was good, but I liked him in this, he really acts. Don Cheadle is always wonderful. See more Blake- N @PBSAniDom May 10 Reign Over Me has a genuinely interesting concept and some emotional moments, but the overall film feels more middle-of-the-road than great. It tries to balance drama, friendship, and personal trauma in a serious way, and while the idea is strong, the execution feels uneven at times. The performances are definitely the highlight. The chemistry between the lead characters keeps the movie engaging, and there are scenes that feel heartfelt and authentic. The film also deserves credit for attempting a more grounded emotional story instead of relying on constant melodrama. At the same time, the pacing can drag, and certain moments feel overly stretched out when they could have been more impactful with tighter writing. Overall, it’s a cool idea for a drama with solid acting and a few memorable scenes, but it never fully reaches the emotional depth it aims for. I still found it worthwhile for the performances and themes, even if it feels somewhat mid in the end. I rate it a 6/10.

It’s both haunting and riveting at the same time. See more J B @RT87465558 Apr 25 Full disclosure- I’m not an action movie fan. I like character studies and questions about how alternately beautiful and unbearable existance can be. This movie check the boxes . Adam Sandler proves that once again, he’s a brilliant actor- quite believable in this role. And Dan Cheadle is always brilliant. This movie on break your heart and show you why you need people But sometimes you have to choose your own family. See more Read all reviews
