Am I Missing Something?

A Masterpiece!

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

I agree with another reviewer who said that the characters are flat and the characters are not engaging to the viewer. The screenplay is terrible. Don't waste your time with this film.Films that take place in a short amount of time and confined location are interesting to me so the idea of people trapped in an elevator with a serial killer sounded attractive but this film could not keep my attention. There are a lot better films available for your viewing time. See "Dinner Rush". One night in a restaurant and an interesting set of characters.

this film does not even have a proper plot, is completely incoherent, what you can see, for instance in the sequences with main actor Aiden. Actors are OK, the problem is the script, that makes no sense and that the production (among them some Italian ignorants)only wanted to make money with a film of "blood and gore", very violent and bloody but nothing else. there is no psychology or anything to it. This is a man, who has a normal family, although his relationship with his wife is far from perfect, and who has a good job, but who is really a murderer. To start with, it could be a script for CSI, if it wasn't because the plot is so badly done and with so little sense.

Possible spoilers I wont bore you with a synopsis of this film, there's enough of that in other reviews.I found this movie pointless by a key factor: the characters, in a plot in which three characters are forcibly secluded, is obvious they have to be interesting to make the movie work, here it isn't the case. First the choice for our trio of protagonists is random and inconsequential, they don't complement, mirror or oppose each other in any way, they're bland, all of them young, good-looking, with some feeble drama on the background, and most importantly, there are no stakes at all, there is no challenge to overcome, and the stuff that happens to stop the elevator feels forced and unnatural,mind you that I know nothing of elevators but it simply doesn't pull me into the narrative, and it is completely unbelievable that for hours no one enters the building and notice the elevator doesn't work. The photography and music is enjoyable, but adds little to the emotions of the main idea, The abundant flashbacks that supposedly serve to introduce and develop the characters, fail to connect with the main plot line and are too generic to be of interest. Overall the movie lacks focus or intent, three characters with secrets get stuck in an elevator- one of them a murderer- so what?.

From the needless prologue and the bewildering opening titles that follow, it's clear from the outset that this film doesn't have much potential. And, to confirm such fears, for not one minute of its 85 does this film offer one moment of suspense, one glimmer of shrewd writing, one ounce of meaningful plot development or a single second of entertainment.The plot concerns three people who become trapped in a lift, and whilst trying to battle their way out, they soon begin battling each other. Unfortunately, not soon enough, as almost the entire film is spent flashing back through the characters' histories, building up completely pointless back-stories in the hope of an emotional climax that never comes to fruition.Following the remarkably ridiculous serial-killer twist that finally emerges, one can't help wondering which is more painful: 20 hours in a lift with a madman, or an hour and a half in front of this trash. This film receives 1 star out of 10, and it's all for Amber Tamblyn – the only actor that didn't make me want to smash my skull into the floor.
