3/4
We may not always be able to escape the technological hell of our modern lives, but at least films like this try to assemble something exciting out of their brain-numbing mundanity. Go to Full Review
Kyle Smith Wall Street Journal 4d
Mr. Corrigan not only directs with verve, but he and his co-writer Hope Elliott Kemp also find sly ways to say things without saying them. Go to Full Review
Chris Azzopardi New York Times 4d
By putting us inside the internet, Corrigan makes their insular world feel uncomfortably close to ours. Go to Full Review
Erik Reeds Spectrum Culture 4h
Hopefully raising the bar about what can be considered a fair assessment of online culture as anything more than a pessimistic cesspool, LifeHack is a surprisingly robust heist thriller for debut director Ronan Corrigan. Go to Full Review

christopher b 1d What a masterpiece. I appreciate Curry Barker’s nods to Ti West and Ari Aster. See more mary D 1d Waste of time and money See more Oliver 1d I liked the concept and how it held my attention the whole way through. See more Austin L. @RT65061933 7h Decent cyber action movie See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch 10h Life Hack (2026) continues the recent wave of "screen-life" thrillers, telling its story entirely through phones, surveillance footage, laptops, and social media clips. While movies like Missing made the format feel suspenseful and creative, this film struggles to bring enough originality to keep the concept engaging. The story follows a cryptocurrency-related heist and attempts to build tension through digital interactions and online paranoia, but the execution feels uneven throughout. One of the biggest problems is pacing, as large sections drag and slowly lose momentum instead of building suspense naturally. The constant reliance on screens eventually becomes repetitive, making parts of the movie feel more like random internet clips stitched together than a fully immersive thriller. Although the film contains a few interesting ideas, the weak emotional connection and forgettable storytelling prevent it from leaving a lasting impact. Better suited for Netflix now.! See more jesse v 1d we are just watching a bunch of online lads jumping down the rabbit hole of don heard. Interesting to see a non horror webcam only film and yet the main guy is very brave with no sense of repercussions. Fantastic visual markups and edits to hide copyright, though every action just happens instantly somehow. See more Read all reviews
