What the film attempts to do is capture the essence that propelled Robert Redford's Ordinary People in 1980. However, the film falls flat. Unlike Timothy Hutton, who played the disturbed son in Ordinary People, Sandler can't make it work in Reign. While Hutton's performance is seamless and believable as he copes with the unfortunate death of his brother, Sandler comes off as someone not suffering from a deep depression, but someone who is severely schitzophrenic. It appears that Sandler doesn't need therapy; rather, he needs an exorcism.
All in all, Reign is a bad film. Moreover, it's boring. Don't waist your time with this one folks. D+.
