Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

trublu215 Not Safe for Work is a nice little thriller from Joe Johnston with aspirations of being just that. The only problem is, there are a couple scenes in this film that are pretty damn good which leads us to believe that with a little more time to develop the screenplay, this film could have actually been a great film. The story is simplistic, a man on the run from a hit-man throughout an office building sounds like it can be either Collateral-good or Straight to Video-bad. The answer does lean a bit more towards straight to video but shows the potential to be as good and as suspenseful as Collateral. The only issue here that really holds this film up from being great are the performances and the script. Max Minghella is decent enough in the film but he really isn't anything special. There's no flair to him, nothing that sets him apart from just another douche bag looking guy on screen. The one performance that could have been and SHOULD have been better was the hit-man. He wasn't quirky enough to work and wasn't ruthless enough to work. It was merely a sleep walking performance through a role that could have been really memorable. Instead, Not Safe for Work relies on cheap plot devices and booby traps to help progress it's standard screenplay. Every beat the film hits, you see it coming a mile away and it doesn't leave any room for any imagination of any sort. Joe Johnston has delivered decent movies in the past and Not Safe for Work is clearly nowhere near his best but it is far from his worst.

kosmasp Or whatever day of the week it is. This might be too much for some to watch though, because similar things to this have happened in real life. People (or just a single person) coming into your workplace and going crazy is not something easy to watch. There is more to it here obviously, but it's still not everyones taste.It's pretty decent, while obviously made for cheap. The story moves along nicely after an opening "shocker". There are some story twists that will leave you with a strange (not good) feeling, but other than that, if you're able to shut off your brain, you might be able to kind of enjoy this low budget action thriller.

secondtake Not Safe for Work (2014)A straight up office building thriller. Yeah, like that's a genre already—well, it feels like it. Isn't that what "Die Hard" was? This one tones it down and it becomes practically believable. Almost too believable, so that it's a bit routine after awhile, even if you're still on the edge of your seat.So imagine you're the last one to leave the office—almost last—and the elevators stop. And then you see someone with a gun, and the computers go nuts, and the lights flicker. So you have a nightmare, trapped, no way to contact help. Even your cellphone ends up, of course, in the hands of the bad guy.And what a bad guy he is, a seemingly cool customer with no qualms killing anyone for any reason. What's a little blood when a pharmaceutical company has a lawsuit on the fritz? And so it goes, running through offices and hiding behind desks.Can this last for a couple hours? Almost! It works on some level. It doesn't work on a lot of other levels, for sure, like caring very much about anyone. (This is where both Bruce Willis and the script of "Die Hard" have something special going on, whatever you think of that Hollywood blockbuster.) Here, you more or less know what's going to happen, and then by the end you are sure. But getting there isn't half bad. Half, at least.

Lareina Duffy This is a nail biting action thriller. There were solid performances from all of the cast members..especially the villain, JJ Field. Max Minghella was really great too. I really hope to see more from them in the future. Im sick of seeing mediocre acting from the likes of Zac Efron, Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Godzilla), and Shia Leboeuf in these big budget mindless movies. Big budget is great, but if the lead cant act, then the movie has no soul, IMO. Not Safe For Work is fast paced and really held my interest. The dialogue is sharp. I found this movie to be a refreshing change from so many movies that Hollywood has been cranking out lately. No fight scenes that drag on too long. The protagonist doest do anything that makes you think "ok, that beaks the laws of physics". None of the shaky hand held camera business so many thriller movies fall back on now days (thx Blair Witch project). I also love that this movie didn't rely on a cynical screenplay, swearing, nudity, or any shock value. Its just a well written, well executed, and well directed movie. Why cant more movies be like this?
