Netflix’s forthcoming thriller, Reptile, is causing quite a stir as it unites acclaimed actors Benicio Del Toro and Alicia Silverstone in a high-stakes murder investigation. Helmed by first-time director Grant Singer, the film is scheduled for release on October 6 and teases an intense murder mystery.
In Reptile, Benicio Del Toro and Alicia Silverstone, who previously shared the screen in 1997’s Excess Baggage, take on the roles of married detectives Tom and Judy Nichols. The plot revolves around a gruesome murder, with Justin Timberlake assuming the role of the prime suspect, Will Grady, who is grieving for the victim, a real estate agent discovered dead by his side. The case gains complexity as Tom and Judy immerse themselves in the investigation, juggling several potential suspects, including Will, the victim’s ex-husband Sam Gifford (portrayed by Karl Glusman), and a resentful individual named Eli Phillips (played by Michael Pitt), nursing a longstanding grudge against the victim’s boyfriend. As Tom delves deeper into the case, startling revelations come to light.
