1/5

Susan Sarandon knows how to pick a character; it's her taste in scripts that we need worry about. Go to Full Review David Fear Rolling Stone 11/02/2018

3/5

There's just enough to make the film a cut above your average headline-driven drama and not quite enough to shoot it into the stratosphere. Go to Full Review Tom Long Detroit News 11/01/2018

There are a number of interesting things going on in "Viper Club." Unfortunately, too few of them are happening on screen. Go to Full Review Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal 06/24/2024

2.5/5

Sarandon’s compelling performance persuasively illustrates how out of her element Helen comes to feel. However, the pacing becomes stagnant as the film wallows in repetitive scenes of bureaucratic confrontation rather than strong character development.

Hollywood vet Susan Sarandon, building on her resume of quirky independent films, returns with a powerful story of a mother desperate to save a son held for ransom in an Islamic state. Go to Full Review Cate Marquis We Are Movie Geeks 04/18/2019

2/5

Despite Sarandon's good work, VIPER is a misfire that does not serve its worthy subject well. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Nathan G @Mmania 01/06/2024 Susan Sarandon - how was she getting acting gigs. Another example of how terrible of an actress she is. NO THANKS See more 04/18/2020 One of the best movies I've seen in 2020! This represents so much! This represents the big "why" of I don't understand why there is bad in this world. Why we can't help each other has a big populational group, why we has human beings, the most intelligent species on mother earth, have to put or differences in front of us and kill each other, why can't we accept and understand that! how important this movie is! See more Jerod S @jeroduptown 06/19/2019 She's trying to get her son back - a lost journalist. But she's all to familiar with tragedy... See more 01/28/2019 Terrible movie all around! See more 01/26/2019 Well made film. Interesting cast, probably will not see it a 2nd time, but a good film...soooo..How does ths film end up with 37%? The negative revoews here posted by the "critics" deserve the 37 or less. Thank god for Rex Reed, I mean these high horsed jab throwers are convinced that their one line pokes are clevr when instead they are nothing but boring. Don't bother leaving a review at this point. Thiis film may not be everyoneks cup of tea, but World War Z scres a 66 and Viper Club 37? Give me a break. Look at the scott marks and tom long reviews...typical of the useless critic of today...boring set up with a few positive words followed by the take down kick the legs out. As formulaic as a hack comedian from atlantic city. Cinema can be a wonder for all, but after seeing this film I wonder why I even got out of bed. Ahahahha. That is what these critics are basically typing day in and day out. There are so many more than decent films which have been scored so low here recently....... and black panther is at 97..a film which I loved. Fantastic beasts the crimes of grindelwald is at 37%.... everyone I know who saw that film thoroghly enjoyed it...so what gives Rotten Tomates? See more 11/04/2018 Great movie. Susan Sarandon was intense has a mother fighting to release her son from the hostages. See more Read all reviews
