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.

Jonathan Romney

Observer (UK)

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

Rated: 2/5

Irish Times

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.

Way Too Indie

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

Rated: 4/10

Grant Watson

Fiction Machine

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.

Rated: 4/10

One Room With A View

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

Rated: 3/5

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.

Disappointing movie as it just seemed to drag on with little interest or suspense. The only cool part was watching the Mercedes jeep drive across the desert.

Michael Douglas seems to be desperate enough to accept any role now! I need my time back! It’s basically a giant commercial for Mercedes G class!

Well Michael Douglas is always nice to watch even if the story has a preposterous premise. I found it overlong, poorly shot, and nothing very new about it. Waste of time.
