ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Sankari_Suomi Good cinematography. Horrible everything else. This Australian movie is an embarrassment to the nation. It contains a bunch of idiotic mistakes that should have been picked up long before the final edit. Examples:* the biblical book of Romans is referred to as part of the Old Testament (it's actually in the New Testament)* Romans 13:4 is misquoted (they simply made up a bogus quote which has nothing to do with the original text)* Numbers 35:19 is quoted, but they arbitrarily change 'he' to 'she' and incorrectly reference the quote as Numbers 35:19-21Herp derp, herpty derp. And so on, and so forth.I rate The Reckoning at 13.32 on the Haglee Scale, which works out as an dreadful 4/10 on IMDb.

ohhelloo The Reckoning is a must see for crime thriller lovers . With a well structured story line with dark twists and turns, gut wrenching performances and crisp cinematography, Soto has proved himself in his talent for crafting genre films. The notable performances of rising actors Lawrence and Williams proved strong in their portrayal of obsessive troubled teens with their quest for vengeance.With successful use of found footage and the crime genre, interesting cinematic layers have been used to create a dark yet thrilling take on city crime. The visual elements have been prominently complimented by a prodigious soundtrack. Overall a great and enjoyable Australian film with complex dimension and texture.

Barry Maxwell I was a little cautious about John Soto's new film The Reckoning. I think the 'found footage' genre is over saturated. However, The Reckoning doesn't quite play out that way, in fact it's an intriguing mix of found footage and the police procedural. I feel that there is enough of a twist on the genres that it actually becomes quite engaging.The story develops nicely, and the two arcs of characters are molded together well. I think that Hanna Mangan Lawrence and Alex Williams, playing the two runaway teens, really shone in this film. That's not to say Jonathan LaPaglia and Viva Bianca were bad, they were good as their roles, but Lawrence and Williams were a driving force in the film.I feel like The Reckoning is a great Aussie film, I took particular joy in seeing Perth on the big screen, and after watching it I really want to see Soto's other films Crush and Needle.

adamgeorgeson My first review on this site.Although I was able to watch the full movie, I at times, criticized certain points in the movie that are completely unrealistic and very badly acted.Based in Australia, there are numerous major flaws to this movie, numerous things that the Police in America use(Badge) are used in this movie. It makes no sense, and when you notice it, it ruins the rest of the movie for you.On numerous occasions, the plot and acting is completely off, and had me wanting to stop watching the movie.The only reason I watched the whole movie was because I was already half way through, and couldn't be bothered watching another.In short:The movie is a typical, corrupt cop, wife kids, having a secret relationship with the "hot" partner cop, has a friend who is on the wrong side of the law, they somehow get into a situation where the cop has killed someone. For some weird reason he gets away with it, the person who he ran over, family member(Sister) and coincidently a guy he "Arrested" a couple years early that is "Mentally ill" go on a killing spree for "Everyone who contributed to her sisters death"(Somehow the plot leads us to a gang of drug dealers), also somewhere in between a girl and a mentally ill guy kills high ranking dangerous drug dealers, without the police catching them.Another spoiler, the big guy with tattoos, his car is left INSIDE A WAREHOUSE!? and the "Police were called" earlier in the day, yet these two main characters are FIRST ON SCENE? IN A WAREHOUSE?.Don't watch it. Waste of time, poor acting, could barely keep watching it. Typical Cop turned bad movie.
