Veteran lawman Roy Pulsifer (Jeff Bridges) works for the R.I.P.D., a legendary police force charged with finding monstrous spirits who are disguised as ordinary people but are trying to avoid their final judgment by hiding out among the living. When Roy and his new partner, Nick Walker (Ryan Reynolds), uncover a plot that could end all life, they must discover a way to restore the cosmic balance or else watch the tunnel to the afterlife start sending angry souls back to the world of the living.

Critics Consensus

It has its moments -- most of them courtesy of Jeff Bridges' rootin' tootin' performance as an undead Wild West sheriff -- but R.I.P.D. is ultimately too dim-witted and formulaic to satisfy.

Please, please don't see it. Value your time more than I did.

2/5

Overall, it's a directionless mess: too expensive for a B-movie, too grown-up for a kids' movie (funerals, bereavement and jokes about Steely Dan) and too infantile for everyone else.

Who thought this was a good idea and why are they still allowed out alone at night?

An endurance test masquerading as a motion picture.

R.I.P.D. isn’t nearly as bad as its near-deafening advance buzz indicated – though, really, what movie could be? – but that doesn’t mean the laughs and gasps are satisfyingly abundant in this loud and clunky sci-fi fantasy action-comedy.

Who was the idiot that wrote the script! This movie was awful.

Horrible movie. Worst comic book movie of 2013. This is Ryan Reynolds' worst comic book movie, even worse than Blade: Trinity, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and Green Lantern. Rating: 1.5/10

A monotonous film that doesn't serve its audience well, other than feeling like a "Men in Black" rip-off with a boring plot, poor CGI and bad acting.
