Critics Consensus

Despite the A-list talent involved, Every Breath You Take never amounts to much more than a thuddingly familiar psychological thriller.

2/5

A deeply pedestrian psychological thriller that uses the hoary old cliché of a dead child as its emotional ballast.

Little of what follows makes sense, but we learn that director Vaughn Stein enjoys the visual appeal of floor to ceiling windows, ominous piano scores and a blue-grey colour scheme that suggests a need for Vitamin D.

It's gloomy and dull, and a little bit up itself.

2/5

It’s a psychological thriller that leaves most of the psychology buried and unexplored. So we’re left with undercooked characters, thinly sketched motivations, and a story begging for more attention and detail.

Good looks aside, this film is a bit of a mess, and it is hard to suspend your disbelief when so many questionable things are happening up on screen.

4/10

Both the writing and filmmaking do very little to make the story creative, and the results are a lethargic narrative lacking any sense of urgency in its pace are intrigue with its characters.

A well acted suspense thriller. Three or four unnecessary 'f' words but not too bad. My wife and I both really enjoyed it.
