‘Lifeline’ succeeds thanks to a strong script and a capable cast.

Stewart’s performance is capably sympathetic. It’s in the service, though, of a thinly veiled allegory.

Barring those last two minutes, the movie was honed to near-perfection, breathing new life into tried concepts with Stewart showing off his acting chops right at the center of it all.

Rated: 7/10

This is too good a premise to dismiss ... It's also too compelling a setup to waste, and that's where the disappointment arises.

Rated: 2.5/4

Film Threat

Lifeline is high-concept sci-fi, but it’s intensely dramatic and engagingly mysterious.

Rated: 10/10

If you’re looking for a great thriller film, Lifeline is one you need to watch. With themes of death, childhood trauma, suicide, personal growth and forgiveness, the moral is that you can save yourself. You can be your own lifeline.

Rated: 3/5

A well crafted and performed drama which will resonate with anyone who struggles with their past and feels they lack agency. Like all gnostic myths, you have to accept the plot holes to benefit from the message.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Stone W

This deeply humane screenplay of empathy, memory and hope takes unexpected turns with shades of “The Twilight Zone.” You can’t take your eyes off Josh Stewart who brings his complex character to vivid life. I barely blinked during the whole movie.
