Projected Figures

Suspended on the 47th floor, this lift will stage a volatile collision of the higher-ups and lower-downs, all caught in the glare of a sensationalised, uncaring media. Which is to say that, clichs and all, Elevator is about us today, going down.

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

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

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

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.

A group of people ends up trapped in a lift with a woman who has strapped a bomb to herself. The woman dies and the lift gets stuck, and then the occupants have to find a way to escape, not a bad film at all
