Reptile is a stylish and slow-burning detective procedural that follows a mysterious detective caught in a den of deceit. Co-Written by and starring Benicio Del Toro, this latest from Netflix is made in the likeness of other detective thrillers like Zodiac and Prisoners, but with a lot more modern visual flare. While it certainly doesn’t reach the same level of prestige as the films it emulates, Reptile still manages to keep you guessing for most of the film, despite heavy-handedly serving you clues in any number of cinematic fashions.
