A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
It shows a pretty scary corporate world, leaves you hoping that it is not true. The real-life lessons- the most obvious one-there are no short cuts. The movie does a great job showing you that (rather than telling you that). If you don't come from a family like Emma Jennings, you can't own amazing apartments like her in her age. You have to work for it in the old fashioned way. Also, shows that a a lot of mind blowing fortune is build on fraud and that as I say, white collar crime sooner of later gets what it deserves. Plausibility: the movie is not so plausible in many areas. if you are as smart and as ambitious as Adam Cassidy, you don't won't be stocked for six years in entry-level salary (at least that is what I hope). If you are as smart as Jock Goddard and Nicolas Wyatt to build empires, you won't be tricked by amateurs. And lets not talk about the grande implausibility of Emma and Adam's love story. I mean not only do they meet by coincidence once, but twice. Its just not believable. Character analysis and development: Adam Cassidy-young and ambitious like many wondering what it is like to be on the other spectre of society. Greed. One must be careful not to let control you. Acting: As much as I like Liam Hemsworth, besides a pretty face, there is not much that he gives to the role. His acting is disappointing.Storytelling- the events develop quite nicely. There are surprising twists in the story that keep the whole movie interesting.
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".
When your employees show you the characteristics of the product development, you sent him to be a business agent. Although all need bold but cautious, but it is obviously two very different type. For a first glance at the bottom of the staff, how do you make sure that he is a man who can be a business agent? Not to mention this he is feel angry when the boss just brew a cup of tea in his talk, how do you determine he will swallow, quietly completed the task of espionage.And this young man, after being expelled, incredibly still flagrant use research and development funds to eating and drinking, even if you do a cash and then go out to play. You were designated as espionage materials. (Since being fired, how to use the money in the research and development account, if this is not a bug, it must be a conspiracy.)Although amber heard the face change trend, but it is still a beauty, but the clever woman, just in the pub find someone to go to bed. For a woman who wants to do something in a man's world, such a behavior is not understandable. Only the people on the other side of the river to go to bed is not looking for trouble? The poor people will get entangled more. If that she make sex with people in order to make herself up, maybe more in line with the high family expectations, the pressure of female white- collar identity.On the one hand, Wyatt send his best creative talent to the rival as commercial spy; On the other hand , Goddard use truly confidential as bait to tell opponents to bait to lure the enemy. Is too dangerous, can not change a fake it? If this fails, but it really is lose the bait along with the fish.
My sister and I both watched this movie on a Saturday when we were bored. We enjoyed the movie immensely. It had certain parts in the plot that hooked you onto the story. While it wasn't the best movie we've ever seen, it was a good movie to watch. Liam Hemsworth was the main character Adam who is fired then goes out an uses the company credit card to part with his friends. He is then employed again by the company that just fired him to go undercover into one of the competitors' companies. While it may have had some scenes that were not going to make everyone want to keep watching, they didn't last long and the movie quickly picked back up again. The music that was used made some of the scenes more interesting than they would be without the music. The intro was a great work of creativity with him running through the streets and the camera clips in and out with Hemsworth talking. The two actors that play the bosses, Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman, were amazing. They had some of the most interesting scenes, especially in the end of the movie when they come together for the first time in the movie. Overall it is a movie that I would recommend to a friend to watch when they have a lazy Saturday afternoon or evening and don't have a movie to watch.
