Beyond the Reach Ratings & Reviews
jackmeat
June 20, 2025
My quick rating - 5.5/10. A high-rolling corporate shark (Michael Douglas) and his impoverished young guide (Jeremy Irvine) play the most dangerous game during a hunting trip in the Mojave Desert. Though you know what is going to happen, it still tells the story quite well and keeps you waiting to see what is next.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Ultimately, the take-away from "Beyond the Reach" is this: Don't go into the desert with a guy in a blazer. Even if he offers you a martini.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
Watching Douglas behave like a narcissistic scumbag is an absolute pleasure, one in which viewers of action-adventure "Beyond the Reach" can happily indulge.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
"Beyond the Reach" is a grueling, unsatisfying thriller that fails the logic test in spectacular ways.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
There's not much here: The characters are paper-thin, and the action is slow, at times agonizingly so.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
Doesn't add anything to the human-hunts-a-human genre but is effectively served.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A nifty little morality play set in the Mojave Desert.
The Dissolve
Kate Erbland
The film aims to puts a compelling twist on the "most dangerous game" trope, but its few good ideas are overshadowed by baffling character decisions and grating plot twists.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
The title of this turgid chase drama couldn't be more apt: almost everything escapes its aim.
L.A. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
Michael Douglas seems to have been slithering toward this part for 40 years
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
There are goofy, primal pleasures to be had in the first two-thirds of the film. But "Beyond the Reach" exceeds even its humble grasp in the final act, collapsing in a clatter of blockheaded manhunter-movie cliches.
San Francisco Chronicle
Michael Ordoña
The flat-out awful ending ... deflates much of the goodwill built up by the rest of the film.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
"Beyond the Reach" is a misfire, one of those movies that never quite rises to the level of guilty pleasure.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Offers a decent amount of thrills and sun-caked frustrations. Get up and leave before the final ten minutes, and the movie provides a compelling ride into disaster.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
"Beyond the Reach" fails to achieve the Southwestern noir potency of "No Country for Old Men," but there's no denying it brings to mind another Southwestern classic about malicious pursuit: the Road Runner cartoons.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Pete Hammond
It provides a nice showcase for the villainous talents of Douglas.
Observer
Rex Reed
The movie tries too hard to promise nail-crunching terror that it never really delivers.
Metro
Matt Prigge
It all goes to hell, more spectacularly than any film in recent memory. Does that ruin what was a pretty good time? It depends.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
If all a movie needed was a boy with abs and a gun (or slingshot), then Beyond the Reach would be a masterpiece.
Variety
Scott Foundas
A preposterously bad, grade-Z adventure yarn in which a crazed billionaire hunter chases a skivvy-stripped guide through the Mojave Desert for upwards of 90 minutes, while the audience looks on in quiet disbelief.
