Siberia Reviews – Update!

Movie Nation reviewed Siberia and gave it 1.5/4 stars.

Jake Cole reviewed Siberia for Slant Magazine and gave it 1/4 stars.

Update: Christopher Schobert reviewed Siberia for The Film Stage and gave it a C+. A few of his views are below.

Siberia is a disappointment. But this is most certainly not typical direct-to-DVD fare, and not just because it will arrive in at least one theater. It is more ambitious, more interesting, more, well, Keanu-ey than that.

however, his quest to save the deal becomes increasingly complicated. This is true for the character, but also for the audience. The plot is difficult to follow, which makes the befuddlement of Reeves’s Hill feel very appropriate.

the scenes between Reeves and Ularu are the film’s best and, with its enigmatically appealing stars, Siberia might have worked better as an offbeat love story rather than a thriller.

Only the ending manages to deliver a jolt, taking a dark turn that may take audiences by surprise.

As another unique step in the enigmatic, ever-evolving career of Keanu Reeves, however, Siberia is oddly endearing.

BobsMovieReview posted his video review of Siberia. He gave it a 6.5/10. Based on the trailer he was expecting an action flick and the only action came at the end. He said it was more of love story than a thriller. He thought it was a watch and he would have given it a higher rating if there was more action.
