Purely Joyful Movie!

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

I came across the book in a dollar store and figured I'd have something to read on my upcoming plane trip. I actually forgot about it until a week ago and started reading. I realized A List actors were on the cover and realized it was a movie. I decided to finish the book and watch the film after. I'd expect more from an ABC movie of the week. The speed at which the story unfolds is ridiculous and that is being generous. THE ACTING...only slightly better, On the plus side,,,if you're a fan of plot holes, you are in luck. If you enjoy an occasional, albeit brief views of the New York City skyline...you're in luck. In short, do yourself a favor and don't bother,

Liam Hemsworth is the worst leading actor i have ever seen. He is looking and talking around like a visitor catalog model without any feeling and emotion. Gary Oldman, Harrison Ford and Amber Heard were very good. Movie is not very good not very bad but final was not very good. Solutions of problems in the movie were very simple.

It shows a pretty scary corporate world, leaves you hoping that it is not true. The real-life lessons- the most obvious one-there are no short cuts. The movie does a great job showing you that (rather than telling you that). If you don't come from a family like Emma Jennings, you can't own amazing apartments like her in her age. You have to work for it in the old fashioned way. Also, shows that a a lot of mind blowing fortune is build on fraud and that as I say, white collar crime sooner of later gets what it deserves. Plausibility: the movie is not so plausible in many areas. if you are as smart and as ambitious as Adam Cassidy, you don't won't be stocked for six years in entry-level salary (at least that is what I hope). If you are as smart as Jock Goddard and Nicolas Wyatt to build empires, you won't be tricked by amateurs. And lets not talk about the grande implausibility of Emma and Adam's love story. I mean not only do they meet by coincidence once, but twice. Its just not believable. Character analysis and development: Adam Cassidy-young and ambitious like many wondering what it is like to be on the other spectre of society. Greed. One must be careful not to let control you. Acting: As much as I like Liam Hemsworth, besides a pretty face, there is not much that he gives to the role. His acting is disappointing.Storytelling- the events develop quite nicely. There are surprising twists in the story that keep the whole movie interesting.

Paranoia means thinking that everyone is against you, causing you to look around every corner for someone to attack you or betray you. That kind of story can build up some real tension in a movie. The film called "Paranoia" (PG-13, 1:46) gets that formula backwards and actually extinguishes tension. This movie shows us all the reasons that the main character SHOULD be paranoid, but he doesn't know what's happening behind the scenes, so instead of being paranoid, he's just oblivious.Liam Hemsworth is Adam Cassidy, a cocky and ambitious young technology developer who is forced by his boss (Gary Oldman) to steal corporate secrets from a rival technology company CEO (Harrison Ford). Embeth Davidtz does well as a woman who teaches Adam the art of corporate espionage, while Richard Dreyfuss' talents are wasted in the role of Adam's ailing father.Let's see… this movie has… some great shots of New York City! That's about the best thing I can say about "Paranoia". Unfortunately, those beauty shots are few and far between, much like the moments of real tension in the story. And those moments are connected by dialog and plot points that range from lame to silly to ridiculous. Of course, it would've helped if more members of the cast could actually act.There are a couple half-way decent twists near the end of the movie, but by then, I was more interested in what time it was than what was going to happen to these characters. It's almost as if there were a conspiracy to put out a movie with a cool title and a few great actors, then distribute an interesting trailer, all to get ME into the theater to waste my time and money.Maybe that's just my paranoia talking.Or not. "Paranoia" gets a "D".
