Emma T @RT92033662 Jun 12 This movie had potential, but Adam Sandler wasn’t right for this role. His performance was really hard to watch at times. See more andrea C @Charst Jun 8 Dramma post 11 Settembre in grado di costruire un personaggio distrutto dal dolore e credibile nella sua disperazione e nei suoi comportamenti ben oltre il limite. Purtroppo però c'è un costante contorno di personaggi poco interessanti e soprattutto di situazioni tra il comico e l'imbarazzante che non fanno giustizia al film e che anzi ne disinnescano parzialmente il potenziale. In pratica a funzionare sono solamente le sequenze tra i due protagonisti, mentre nel momento stesso in cui entra un personaggio femminile, il marcato tentativo di introdurre banalmente la sfera sessuale, fa perdere di credibilità ogni dialogo.

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. See more Read all reviews
