What to Know

Critics Consensus

Viper Club benefits from Susan Sarandon's committed lead performance, but a treacly script robs this geopolitical drama of any bite.

Scott Marks San Diego Reader Susan Sarandon knows how to pick a character; it's her taste in scripts that we need worry about. Rated: 1/5 Nov 2, 2018 Full Review David Fear Rolling Stone There's just enough to make the film a cut above your average headline-driven drama and not quite enough to shoot it into the stratosphere. Rated: 3/5 Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Tom Long Detroit News There are a number of interesting things going on in "Viper Club." Unfortunately, too few of them are happening on screen. Rated: C Nov 1, 2018 Full Review Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal Sarandon’s compelling performance persuasively illustrates how out of her element Helen comes to feel. However, the pacing becomes stagnant as the film wallows in repetitive scenes of bureaucratic confrontation rather than strong character development. Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 24, 2024 Full Review David Lamble Bay Area Reporter Hollywood vet Susan Sarandon, building on her resume of quirky independent films, returns with a powerful story of a mother desperate to save a son held for ransom in an Islamic state. Jun 12, 2020 Full Review Cate Marquis We Are Movie Geeks Despite Sarandon's good work, VIPER is a misfire that does not serve its worthy subject well. Rated: 2/5 Apr 18, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Nathan G Susan Sarandon - how was she getting acting gigs. Another example of how terrible of an actress she is. NO THANKS Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/06/24 Full Review Audience Member One of the best movies I've seen in 2020! This represents so much! This represents the big "why" of I don't understand why there is bad in this world. Why we can't help each other has a big populational group, why we has human beings, the most intelligent species on mother earth, have to put or differences in front of us and kill each other, why can't we accept and understand that! how important this movie is! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member She's trying to get her son back - a lost journalist. But she's all to familiar with tragedy... Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Terrible movie all around! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Well made film. Interesting cast, probably will not see it a 2nd time, but a good film...soooo..How does ths film end up with 37%? The negative revoews here posted by the "critics" deserve the 37 or less. Thank god for Rex Reed, I mean these high horsed jab throwers are convinced that their one line pokes are clevr when instead they are nothing but boring. Don't bother leaving a review at this point. Thiis film may not be everyoneks cup of tea, but World War Z scres a 66 and Viper Club 37? Give me a break. Look at the scott marks and tom long reviews...typical of the useless critic of today...boring set up with a few positive words followed by the take down kick the legs out. As formulaic as a hack comedian from atlantic city. Cinema can be a wonder for all, but after seeing this film I wonder why I even got out of bed. Ahahahha. That is what these critics are basically typing day in and day out. There are so many more than decent films which have been scored so low here recently....... and black panther is at 97..a film which I loved. Fantastic beasts the crimes of grindelwald is at 37%.... everyone I know who saw that film thoroghly enjoyed it...so what gives Rotten Tomates? Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Great movie. Susan Sarandon was intense has a mother fighting to release her son from the hostages. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
