Review of Paranoia (2013) by Ian G — 25 Nov 2013

Mediocre affair with a sloppily written script, Paranoia is a dull film that had an interesting premise, but it just ends up falling flat. The cast is awful, aside from Gary Oldman, whom I thought was quite good.

However everyone else seems bored in their parts and Hemsworth tries too hard in his performance. This film simply copies from other films and it does lack some originality. Although the idea was good, the filmmakers clearly don't know where to take it, and they try to rip off every genre film in the process.

This is a\ film that just doesn't deliver anything really engaging. I really was disappointed with the film, and I felt it was a missed opportunity to make something tense, and dramatic. Paranoia is a forgettable film, one that wastes its interesting ideas due to a sloppily written script, a few miscast parts and somewhat clichéd story.

The ideas were interesting, but they also could have been worked with, so that it was something new and refreshing. In the end, Paranoia is a boring movie that never takes off. Don't go into this one expecting a great film, you'll be disappointed.

Paranoia should have benefitted from a few rewrites before it got the go ahead, as it is a very boring film and it's a tedious picture to sit through and considering the end result, it's not worth seeing.

This is a pointless movie that just doesn't have anything good going for it. Disappointing, and forgettable, you'll be glad that you missed out on Paranoia, as this one just doesn't work.
