Ghostbusters in black

R.I.P.D (2013)

Directed by Robert Schwentke this film based on the comic of the same name stars Jeff Bridges, Ryan Reynolds, Kevin Bacon and Mary-Louise Parker. A Boston police officer recently killed by his own partner goes back to Earth as part of the afterlife police hunting dead that do not want to go to hell.

This film has it's moments but most of the time it seems to be a weak rip off of better films. Nothing ever really gets explained fully and we never know enough about the protagonist before he dies to connect with him. Despite a decent cast Mary-Louise Parker is the only real highlight and Jeff Bridges seems to have gone too far over the top with his performance.


2/5
