Unfortunately, The Reckoning is the biggest whiff in Marshall’s filmography. At its best, it delivers moments of optic greatness (a lightning strike-illuminating barn scene stands out), but most of the film is bleak and droll, full of a muddled script and lackluster performances. Read full review

The ensemble cast members all dutifully perform their roles, but there’s not much for them to sink their teeth into. Read full review
