Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times "Beast of Burden" places a number of burdens on the audience, almost none of which are worth enduring. Feb 22, 2018 Full Review Derek Smith Slant Magazine The film's flashbacks, which are either too clipped or excessively scored, effectively step on the actors' toes. Rated: 1.5/4 Feb 19, 2018 Full Review Mabel Salinas Cine Premiere There are too many themes introduced that end up leading nowhere. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 1/5 Feb 8, 2019 Full Review Jason Best Movie Talk Strapping us into the cockpit of a single-engine plane beside pilot Daniel Radcliffe, this high-concept low-budget thriller tries to do in the air what Tom Hardy's 2013 road movie Locke did on the ground. Rated: 2/5 Jan 29, 2019 Full Review Jacob Knight Birth.Movies.Death. Every design element is working in sync to never let us feel comfortable, creating a remarkably cramped ambiance. Apr 3, 2018 Full Review Musanna Ahmed Film Inquiry A single worthy performance is held back by a substandard script, narrative structure, and just about everything else. Daniel Radcliffe is very good. The film itself, not so much. Mar 28, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Travis W The best and most reliable crypto recovery expert service for me ever goes to CYBER GENIE HACK PRO! Wow; these guys are so good at their job and their customer service relationship is so friendly and reliable. I made a huge error with a transaction at work, sending $68,000 worth of BTC to the wrong wallet address. Tension arose and I was literally shaking even while I searched online for a possible solution. I contacted the customer support of the wallet address provider but they said they couldn't help. I was about to pay my company money I never spent till I read something about CYBER GENIE HACK PRO Recovery services and I immediately contacted them. Because the money hadn't been withdrawn and contacted on time, they were able to retrace the transaction, and the money was credited back to the company's wallet swiftly. How would I have explained to the company I am innocent, CYBER GENIE saved my life. "http: // cybergeniehackpro (.) x y z " (+12)(5)(25)(12)(03)(91).. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/26/23 Full Review Wade W This movie was so boring. Most of the movie was him sitting in a plane talking on a cell phone to various people. Don't watch it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/16/23 Full Review Liam D Daniel Radcliffe (What If, Jungle) carries this movie past it's bland storytelling Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/11/22 Full Review samuel l In a word: dreadful. A completely implausible plot, no tension, suspense, or thrill and therefore poor pacing, a ridiculous number of phone calls, unconvincing acting, undeveloped, generic characters, constant short flashbacks, budget CGI, blatantly fake sets/props, overly dark visuals, leading to horrible compression on streaming services, and a silly, booming soundtrack that was laughably inappropriate make this a film to avoid. It's basically a badly made mix of Locke and American Made, with no redeeming qualities. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Prima mezz'ora a dir poco confusionaria, si capisce ben poco della trama; e anche quando diventa più comprensibile rimane comunque ai limiti del surreale. Veramente per qualche kg di droga si abbatte un drone in volo con una pistola?? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Very slow. Only picked up in the last few minutes. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
