Review
by Bob Ignizio
We know from the moment we see the way
he's parked his Hummer across multiple spaces that John Madec, one of
the two main characters in BEYOND THE REACH,
is an asshole. The fact that he's from L.A. is offered up to further
drive home the point, and if the audience still needed more
convincing, he's played by Michael Douglas. Madec has stopped off in
a small desert town with a special permit to hunt big horn sheep out
of season, and has an extra fancy gun for just those purposes (again,
asshole). But he needs a guide, and the best one available is a stoic
young man named Ben (Jeremy Irvine) whose smart and sexy girlfriend
(Hanna Mangan Lawrence) has just left town to attend college. Ben
doesn't much care for Madec, but he can use the money and so agrees
to take the gig.
