Critics Consensus

Beyond the Reach promises goofy genre pleasures, but fails to deliver, losing the viewer -- and a villainous turn from Michael Douglas -- in a misguided story that stumbles to the finish.

Irvine works hard, but the film is content to let his torso do most of the talking.

An ending so breathtakingly, eye-rubbingly stupid, it's almost worth the admission price.

There is the ghost of a good idea in this clunky machine.

The Reach's entertainment value is just as dry and empty as its vast desert location.

4/10

There is simply not enough logic or motivation to explain the film's second half, and it completely destroys the relatively promising work undertaken in the first.

3/5

Douglas's Gordon Wakko wealthy-bastard schtick keeps Beyond The Reach from getting trapped in an all too familiar game of cat-and-mouse.

No idea why this movie has such bad reviews. The acting in this is great. The production is great. Michael Douglas is awsome in this one. I've seen this a few times and it's still pretty good watch.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Well, I ate dinner and watched this film. I have no idea what to say other than the scenery was fabulous! Otherwise a pile of junk. It also gave me a lot of gas. Which was worse than this movie!

tried to watch this because i'd seen most every movie on but the way michael douglas looks/talks and acts in this is 'horrible' in his 'drugstore' cowboy outfit and he talks with food in his mouth and is just GROSS......

They should've spent less on the Benz and something on a screenwriter. A slingshot? Is that gunna happen? I can't wait until this thing is over.

A solid dramatic thriller, despite some flaws. Douglas adds class as well as good acting to his villain. Irvine's character is full of flaws that slows the plot. The film was too long.
