Reptile

When a female real estate agent is brutally murdered while showing a vacant house, the investigation falls to Det Tom Nichols, a jaded cop whose reputation is stained by the corrupt acts of his old partner.  Deception and betrayal abound as Nichols tries to determine the truth without destroying his life yet again. 

Ok. So Benecio Del Toro and Alicia Silverstone gave top notch performances, and in his limited screentime Justin Timberlake held his own too. 

But .   . .

This was a moody, engaging film that strode confidently forward to a strong conclusion - and then, for reasons unknown, dragged that conclusion out another 45 minutes!!!  

Edit this thing and you've got 3.5 or 4 stars out of five. As is? I'm being generous by giving it 3.
