Kirk Honeycutt The Hollywood Reporter 02/18/2004
A bit of Kafka, a touch of Orwell and Terry Gilliam and a whole lot of been-there- done-that. Go to Full Review

Uma premissa inteligente que recebe um tratamento visual mais do que adequado pela dupla de cineastas estreantes, discpulos bvios de Cronenberg. Go to Full Review

Paranoia 1.0 has atmosphere in spades. Unfortunately, the plot and character development are about as thin as the atmosphere on Pluto. Go to Full Review
Ryan Cracknell Movie Views 02/28/2005
While the story is very original combining the techno-edge of The Matrix with Orson Welles' The Trial, it's the mood and atmosphere where it really shines. Go to Full Review

02/14/2016 2016-02-14 dark and too weird and could never figure out what was really going on, even though we watched it all the way to the end. See more 07/14/2015 The mood is great, but the film just plods along, never really going anywhere. See more 06/01/2013 Weird and Intriguing Story with the Potential of a Cult-following--Subtle, beautiful and gritty science fiction; Gorgeous brain candy!! See more 04/26/2013 althought were nice actors, but didnt like the movie at all. seemed nightmare to me. See more 09/29/2012 It sucks and it blows. Either The Matrix (1999) was incredibly far ahead of its time or this movie (2004) is behind of it. Now it's not like I just compare every movie with The Matrix, but this one has several scenes obviously inspired by it and it 'borrowes' certain ideas for no good reason. I hate these movies where everybody talks in riddles all the time while being shot in wide-eye lenses and why is everything sofa king dark? The sets and props are another issue, I don't get that whole in-the-near-future-we-have-amazing-tech-on-really-crappy-looking-computers-with-crappy-UI-and-old-as-shit-monitors-thing, I've seen it before in movies like Dark City and Avalon and I just don't see the point. It's just being weird for the sake of being weird imho. There's some guy screaming at him all the time to finish the code, but instead of doing his job he just fucks around all day, going shopping, hanging with the neighbours, Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool and all shootin some b-ball outside of the school. When a couple of guys Who were up to no good.. Startin making trouble in my neighborhood Why doesn't anybody clean and/or paint the fucking walls?! Appearantly the near future involves people pissing and jizzing on the walls all the goddamn time, that's the only logical explanation for all the grime on the walls, it really compliment the overused green filter. The plot of the movie is obvious and easily traced in half an hour, but still it takes an incredibly long time to get to the fucking point. See more 05/27/2012 A dark and disturbing anti-capitalist psychological thriller. See more Read all reviews
