      Audience Member Great movie and very suspenseful!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member （6.5）I don't want to say anything. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member I like this movie, it is real. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member great topic, typical Chinese story style. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting vision of the media's privacy abuse from a chinese point of view, but even if the movie is well directed and acted, still in my mind it's too slow and long. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member And now everybody's life is all quite equally ruined. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Deborah Young Hollywood Reporter In this fast-moving, densely plotted black dramedy, a faux scandal raised by an ambitious web TV editor comes close to destroying a number of lives, offering a masterful panorama on urban, middle class China. Jun 8, 2016 Full Review Inkoo Kang Los Angeles Times Caught in the Web is an unpleasant cudgel of a film -- dour, moralistic and eager to thump. Jun 8, 2016 Full Review Tomas Hachard NPR There's a stiffness to the actors' performances that reinforces the film's ambiguous tone. And Chen's use of jump cuts is jarring and arbitrary, their ubiquity upping the ante on the film's already tiring hyperactivity. Jun 8, 2016 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com An oddly flat critique of the life and times in which we live. Rated: 2/5 Aug 29, 2019 Full Review Bernard Boo Way Too Indie Chen's trite, uninspired approach to the concept is deflating, and ensures Caught in the Web will vanish into the mediocre-movie abyss. Rated: 4.8/10 Apr 3, 2019 Full Review Anders Wright San Diego Union-Tribune This is a fascinating concept for a film, but it's not executed particularly well. It seems ripe for a fresh perspective, which, sadly, does not say much about the movie itself. Rated: 1.5/5 Jan 24, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
