Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges star in this comedy action film that literally dazzles your eyes with amazing camera work! I commend you Robert Schwentz!! Brilliant direction!
After the back-to-back box office flops that were "Green Lantern" and "The Change-Up", the struggling leading man really could have used another hit in the vein of "Safe House". R.I.P.D, in my opinion, is a good comeback film for the actor. In contrast to popular belief (also known as the box office), that rated this film to be another flop in Ryan Reynold's repertoire, I thought it was a wonderful story! This concept of the hereafter has been explored in many films, to name one..."Ghost", and this film actually has become a classic.
Similar to "Ghost", this is another after-death based film with a more action and comedic aspect to it. This new take on this topic was fresh and very interesting....especially visually.
Special effects, picturization and cinematography, all excelled in RIPD! This film is dripping with cheesiness, but that's the enjoyment part of it. It has been quite a while since a Hollywood film portrayed so much stereotypical behaviour in one movie.
Jeff Bridges and Kevin Bacon, the other main actors in the film, have done in a decent job in their character portrayal. On the acting front, everyone in the film fulfilled their role very well.
This may seem like a very positive review of this movie, while the vast majority have deemed it a "no-go" zone, but the matter of fact is...RIPD is a fun movie! No where does it seem boring.
I think, you should never completely judge a movie without watching it. I recommend you (the readers of this review) to watch the film yourself and make your own decision.
I give this film 7.5/10 "7.5 out of 10"
Rating: FUN-filled comedic thriller!
