I’m always up for a new Benicio Del Toro movie and it looks like we’ll be getting one in October courtesy of Netflix. “Reptile” sees Del Toro cast with Justin Timberlake, Alicia Silverstone, Ato Essandoh, Frances Fisher, and Eric Bogosian among others in what looks like a wild crime thriller that marks the directorial debut for Grant Singer. The new trailer gives us an interesting yet hard to read first look at this beguiling feature.
Set to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, “Reptile” sees Del Toro playing Nichols, a hardened detective seeking to uncover the truth behind the brutal murder of a young real estate agent. Timberlake plays the unassuming husband of the victim while Silverstone plays Nichols’ wife. As with any good neo-noir crime thriller, nothing is quite as it seems and there is a healthy selection of possible suspects. There is certainly some exciting potential. It’s be fun to see if Singer can pull it off. I’m really intrigued.
“Reptile” will hit select theaters on September 29th before streaming on Netflix starting October 6th. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.
Keith & the Movies 
Excess Baggage reunion? Remember that movie? A Life Less Ordinary was the better film of those 2 kidnapping films.
Still, this looks incredible and I like this ensemble cast.
I really hope it delivers. Del Toro nails intensity so I can see him really bringing it.
Pass
I started to watch the trailer earlier but didn’t want any spoilers. I’m *so* there when this releases. Benicio is an automatic draw, and these kinds of creepy killer hounded by dedicated detective is my kind of movie.
Yep! My kind of movie too. I’m all over this one.
I’m in!
Me too. Big fan of Del Toro.
I’m in! I don’t think Timberlake or Silverstone are particularly strong actors, but I’ll still give it a watch.
I’m 100% with you on both Timberlake and Silverstone. They definitely stand out up against Del Toro.
