Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
... View MoreWhile it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
... View MoreIt’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
... View MoreYes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
... View MoreWhat a fun little thriller of a film this is,I have to admitted I'm growing into a bit of a fan for Sarah Butler.I first seen her in this film first, then The Demented,before I seen I Spit on Your Grave, so I liked it a lot. I didn't much like The Demented, I Spit on Your Grave was alright, but had a satisfying yet eerie ending.I don't understand why most of you out there hated this, even when I first seen this I thought was average at best, but still enjoyed it for what it is.Sarah Butler was great in this and I think she is a good actress too, I think she's sexy as hell and I hope she has a bright future, I also hope to see her in bigger film projects as well.Overall, I thought it was fun and exceeded may expectations.I give it a 5.8/10. If your like me and not too cynical about low budget movies I think your going to enjoy it too.
... View MoreAll the action takes place in a big building and, in particular, inside an elevator and on the roof of that elevator. What it makes it watchable is the lead lady, Sarah Butler, good actress and very charming woman. I wanted to watch the movie because of Malcolm McDowell but, he has just a small role, nothing spectacular like in the old days, "A Clockwork Orange" or "Caligula". He has an acting destiny very similar to Eric Roberts, they both act in everything, only to play and make some money. But Eric Roberts is far too far with 472 credits, while Malcolm has only 258. However, both have specialized in the same character, the wicked, smart and charming villain. The other actors are OK but, still static boring movie.
... View MoreJane Porter (Sarah Butler) works at Gault Capital. She's shocked when her supervisor Ronald Taft (Ian Gomez) tells her about a co-worker's apparent suicide jump off the building. Thaddeus Gault (Malcolm McDowell) offers her the job to replace him. She uncovers wrongdoing and tells Ronald. Ronald calls in Frank (D.B. Sweeney) to clean up the situation. Jane gets trapped in the elevator.The writing is rather simplistic. Once she gets stuck in the elevator, the movie also gets a bit stuck. It's a hard premise to work and there is no imagination behind this to get it working. The outside story has no effect. At one point, Jane yells at Frank to "Do Something". I know the feeling. This is confined space thriller without any skills or originality.
... View MoreBoth the writing and the acting are poor. It moves too slowly. Watch "Not Safe for Work" instead.Though the cast contains some medium-sized actors (McDowell, Sweeney), the writing is likely weighing down the project. The elevator angle slowed down the movie in my opinion. A chase through the building would have kept the tension high as it does in Not Safe. The female protagonist does not convince that there is an impending doom, and the antagonist seems to fumble and bumble more than the money one assumes was spent on his services would imply. I honestly had to take a break from watching half-way through due to lack of interest.
