Netflix continues to produce thrillers that reach the top of its catalog. The latest one was “Nowhere,” a film by Albert Pintó starring Anna Castillo, which managed to top the charts in nearly sixty countries. But the platform doesn’t stop in its quest to be pioneers in this genre and has just released another high-profile movie: “Reptiles.”
Starring Benicio Del Toro, who returns to a high-profile role after “Sicario,” the movie is a classic police thriller that runs like clockwork. Directed by Grant Singer, primarily known for his music videos, the film achieves an effective aesthetic and features stellar performances. But what exactly is it about?

“Reptiles” takes us to the brutal murder of a young real estate agent, an incident for which a detective (Del Toro) is hired to uncover the truth about the case and unravel everything that happened. However, nothing is as it seems, and he soon realizes that this seemingly external case is directly related to his own life.
Beyond Benicio Del Toro, Netflix‘s film boasts a star-studded cast. Alongside him, actors Justin Timberlake, Alicia Silverstone, Michael Pitt, and Ato Essandoh join in roles that make them shine, completing a highly intriguing film.
Undoubtedly, it’s a movie that perfectly embodies the Netflix formula, shining both in its aesthetics and its cast. It has already climbed to the top in many countries, and everything indicates that it will continue to grow in the coming weeks. Certainly, Grant Singer’s career is worth keeping an eye on.
