Scott Weinberg FEARnet At one point a guy gets his arm chopped off and everyone gets sprayed with blood, and that does prove a welcome respite from the spittle-laden diatribes. Rated: 2/5 Aug 28, 2012 Full Review Shaun Munro What Culture This is a breezy, to-the-point thriller. Rated: 3/5 Aug 25, 2012 Full Review Steve Dread Central Elevator is a taut, intense, and surprisingly violent little movie that is home to some great performances, awesome sound design, and some truly slick thrills. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 4, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Tommy M Intro moving into the main scene is very rash and thoughtless. We all know it is coming, but there is no excitement, little suspense, and that's the pace for the rest of the story. Once it got to the plot, there was no anticipation to see what's going to happen in the next 5 minutes. The dialogue was cliché, and a couple events to move the story forward were forced. Because of those events the story feels too far out there, and just stays way out there. The other element missing from the movie for me was some sort of connection, sympathy, etc. for any of the characters. As mentioned the dialogue was cliché, thoughtless, and the cheer generally for this-or-that outcome never happens. As mentioned how the intro was fast and pointless, the conclusion was even worse (almost none). Feels like the writers or director ran out of time. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/23/24 Full Review Narciso R Terrible movie, Terrible ending. Should have killed the rich guy. NRJ. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/17/24 Full Review Lori L Ending was incomplete Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/02/24 Full Review Ronald H Whatever you think of "people stuck in an elevator" movies, it's a pleasure to see John Getz here, whose performance in the Coen brothers' 1984 Blood Simple was unforgettable. He's done a lot of film work since, but nothing equal to his portrayal of the hapless Ray in that noir classic. Actually, all of the cast of Elevator is good. As to the plot, it's typical thriller fare. One of the passengers has a bomb, and the ensuing hysteria is predictable but nonetheless entertaining. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/30/23 Full Review Regina P It passes the time... there's not much to chew on here. It's a class warfare revenge tale. Not the worst for it's budget and genre. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/05/23 Full Review Dennis D Weird movie --but entertaining to me. Watch it you be the judge. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
