2.5/4
...with performers like Liotta and Dafoe (along with Stephen Rea and Michelle Rodriguez in supporting roles), the film is elevated to something that's surprisingly watchable.. Go to Full Review

Sean D Aug 12 I actually liked this. It doesn't really come to much in the end. But ray liotta, like always, gives 110%. And he just has to many good moments in it for it to be considered a bad film. I miss following his career 😢 See more Regina P 01/01/2024 It didn't age well. Its main fault is that it is boring. See more isla s 09/04/2022 This felt pretty much a bog standard action thriller watch. Its pretty fast paced with some gripping moments but the plot felt a bit weak and there are definitely predictable elements to it. However, its a pretty easy watch - you don't need to be paying too much attention to keep track of most of whats going on. Its ok but pretty average fare overall I'd say so I don't think I'd specifically recommend it as such but it could be worse - the cast given pretty decent performances, given the script. See more ronald h 06/09/2022 "Control" is conceptually absurd and conspicuously low budget, but at least it gives us another chance to see Ray Liotta practicing his craft. He's so good here, it's easy to ignore the ridiculous premise of the film. Willem Dafoe is good, too. Everyone else in the cast is basically a plot device. But Liotta is a marvel to watch. See more 01/28/2021 This movie never lost my interest......the plot while somewhat predictable had enough changes and energy to maintain my interest from beginning to end.... I have never seen a movie with either Willem Dafoe or Ray Liotta that was not worth watching! See more 10/17/2018 This was a very amazing movie. I thought it was such a good movie.
