Quick Hit

The Reptile throws creature-feature on screen with real nerve, but the finish is uneven. More hit than miss, and that counts.

Full Take

You can feel the movie reaching for a hit from frame one. When the image is sharp and the menace is clean, it lands. British genre discipline gives the film a cleaner shape than many of its pulp peers. The pulp energy helps, but cheap effects only get so many free passes. That’s enough to push it into SOLID.
