3/5
If you're prepared to suspend your disbelief, you'll certainly find some enjoyment in Panic Button's generic attempt to express these genuinely concerning issues -- even if you take little away from its cautionary tale. Go to Full Review

Utterly preposterous, but Panic Button is gripping and a lot of fun. Go to Full Review

Becky A Nov 3 While there's certainly a valuable lesson behind the plot (how past behaviour can come back to haunt you so you should always think before you speak/act), and the lead up to the ending was certainly well executed, the finale itself was confusing & creepy. The main antagonist has now taken the main characters daughter as a permanent hostage? Changed her name against her will, told her she's *his* daughter now, and even managed to convince his family to go along with holding a child captive? Look honey, I've replaced little Lucy! It's like the suicide never happened! I don't buy it. It's like they pulled an ending instead of a joke out of a cheap Christmas cracker & said "that'll do." See more 12/26/2021 I discovered this little movie while browsing for something to watch. Was very surprised how interesting it was. Definitely worth a watch. See more 11/20/2019 Pretty predicable film but plenty of scares and it's a fun ride. On a budget of £300k it's an interesting concept and quality acting. It's definitely better then any Ray liotta & Wesley Snipes airplane movie put it that way! Will probably watch again one day. See more 02/02/2016 it's a good movie. it possibly inspired the 2015 movie "unfriended" See more 05/01/2015 Quite a twisted thriller and nicely pan out. Good movie See more 04/02/2015 Exploration of the dark side of internet experience. 4 strangers boarded the plane on a trip to New York, little did they know they are all in a dangerous game. The concept was actually not too bad, there are enough plot-holes to form a fishing net however. The acting on the other hand was horrendous, they could have found better actors. The ending was unsatisfying to say the least. See more Read all reviews
