Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

adonis98-743-186503 An entry-level employee at a powerful corporation finds himself occupying a corner office, but at a dangerous price: he must spy on his boss's old mentor to secure for him a multi-billion dollar advantage. I can see why Paranoia left so many people disappointed since they all expected seeing more from Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman and believe me that makes sense but years have changed unfortunately and in my opinion this movie wasn't that bad. It had suspense in it and the story was interesting plus the perfomances were good honestly. (7/10)

Daniel Elford Why does Liam Hemsworth run like that? How often does he shower? Does he wax? Why can't they seem to frame Gary Oldman's face correctly? Why is this called 'Paranoia'? Just a few questions of many you might ask yourself whilst watching said movie. If this were a shoddy made-for-TV thriller, I would be saying it's not too bad, but for a major release featuring these names, one has to wonder what happened. One can see how, on paper, the film may have appealed; the idea itself holds some promise, in the right hands, of being at least mildly interesting and gripping. On watching, however, one can also easily imagine the deflation everybody must have felt as they discovered director Robert Luketic is not those said right hands. Only this can explain the general sense of disinterest in the performances. To be frank, perhaps a resume that includes 'Legally Blonde', 'Monster In Law' and 'The Ugly Truth' should have served as fair warning so, on second thought, maybe there is limited sympathy available to Ford and Oldman. That said, they do enough to fulfil their roles, with Oldman easily being the best thing about the movie. Far from awful, and even further from good, 'Paranoia' plods through a dopey, obvious, cliché-riddled techno-espionage plot and wastes everybody's time in the process.

Dave McClain Paranoia means thinking that everyone is against you, causing you to look around every corner for someone to attack you or betray you. That kind of story can build up some real tension in a movie. The film called "Paranoia" (PG-13, 1:46) gets that formula backwards and actually extinguishes tension. This movie shows us all the reasons that the main character SHOULD be paranoid, but he doesn't know what's happening behind the scenes, so instead of being paranoid, he's just oblivious.Liam Hemsworth is Adam Cassidy, a cocky and ambitious young technology developer who is forced by his boss (Gary Oldman) to steal corporate secrets from a rival technology company CEO (Harrison Ford). Embeth Davidtz does well as a woman who teaches Adam the art of corporate espionage, while Richard Dreyfuss' talents are wasted in the role of Adam's ailing father.Let's see… this movie has… some great shots of New York City! That's about the best thing I can say about "Paranoia". Unfortunately, those beauty shots are few and far between, much like the moments of real tension in the story. And those moments are connected by dialog and plot points that range from lame to silly to ridiculous. Of course, it would've helped if more members of the cast could actually act.There are a couple half-way decent twists near the end of the movie, but by then, I was more interested in what time it was than what was going to happen to these characters. It's almost as if there were a conspiracy to put out a movie with a cool title and a few great actors, then distribute an interesting trailer, all to get ME into the theater to waste my time and money.Maybe that's just my paranoia talking.Or not. "Paranoia" gets a "D".

FlashCallahan Two powerful tech billionaires in the world, are bitter rivals, with a complicated past who will stop at nothing to destroy each other. A young Thor lookalike, is seduced by wealth and power, and falls between them, and in doing so becomes trapped in the middle of their life-and-death game of corporate espionage. By the time he realises his life is in danger, he is in far too deep and knows too much for them to let him walk away......The main problem with this film is that its twenty years too late, and has been made numerous times before, and much better.When the film goes into full thriller mode, I keep thinking to myself, if this was made in the nineties, when it should have been, it would have starred Tom Cruise, Michael Douglas, Gene Hackman, Nicole Kidman, and Sean Penn. and it would have been one of the biggest hits of the year.But it's been a long time since films like The Firm, and Disclosure where sure things, and it's not surprising that it sank badly, Hemsworth just doesn't convince, and the film focuses more on him and his friends, rather than the two people we saw the movie for.It's almost as if John Grisham has started to write Young Adult novels.But when Ford and Oldman are on screen, it sizzles, and Oldman is doing his best cockney wide boy next to Fords grizzled shaven headed tech wiz.All in all, it's too late coming, but it goes along at a steady pace, and for a while, I was right back there in 1994.It was good to be sixteen again.
