What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though Adam Rifkin's voyeuristic film sometimes feels like only a clever gimmick, it's for the most part a compelling thriller with political overtones.

The performances feel natural, improvised, and it's easy to believe this is the world we inhabit. Go to Full Review

If the idea is that we're always being watched, why does it seem that in this movie, no one's really paying attention? Go to Full Review
V.A. Musetto New York Post 12/14/2007
1.5/4
There are some funny moments, plus occasional nudity and sex, but the joke quickly wears off. What might have worked as a half-hour TV show doesn't suit itself to a feature-length film. Go to Full Review
Sean Axmaker Seanax.com 05/03/2009
Rifkin has a cynical view of human behavior and he plays it for cheap titillation and bleak humor, which is mean-spirited at best and glib at worst. Go to Full Review

By the end, you're ready to call for the abolition of video surveillance, if only so that you can stop watching all these irritating characters. Go to Full Review

thiago s @Thiagostone Jun 13 Filme bacaninha, o roteiro é bacaninha, as cenas são bacanas, a história é bacaninha, o elenco é fraco, mas alguns ajudam a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, o filme tem cenas interessantes, com uma história interessante e um roteiro interessante, com tudo isso, eu recomendo esse filme. See more 06/20/2017 This movie is a classic, all filmed using surveillance camera's plus it was funny and completely entertaining. See more 05/30/2014 Was disturbing, but one of those movies I couldn't stop watching. See more 10/28/2013 Pretty good, but sometimes I think the techniques end up making it feel even more setup than a normal movie and kind of pulls you out of it. I get the point Rifkin is making with the cameras everywhere, but sometimes that looming message doesn't give the story enough room. See more 10/26/2013 One of the best movies that I've seen in ages. Filmed entirely from the perspective of surveillance cameras. The story interweaves in interesting and unexpected ways. Some times creepy in the voyaristic feeling that it leaves with the viewer as we watch the story unfold. Highly recommended. See more 11/02/2012 Not since Crash has a movie invoked so many emotions out of me. This movie is a journey through one's senses. I'll admit that I wasn't feeling the whole surveillance camera idea, but that's before I began watching it. This movie is gripping, frightening, thrilling, arousing, angering, disgusting, saddening, etc.. Only one who goes into it with a cynical mindset will miss the point of a film like this and come away viewing it as a failed attempt at something grand. The movie works and in a year (2009) suffocated by mediocre, dry American film-making, this is an extremely refreshing burst of air. See more Read all reviews
