hyped garbage

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Since the opening scene you get a taste of the absolute mediocrity that follows for the rest of the film. There's so much wrong with it that I really don't even know where to start, but the first apparent serious problem seems to be the casting choice, and that's what probably made this movie fail in such disastrous proportions. This film needs to be shown in acting school as an example for how NOT to act, and I'm honestly very surprised that Whoopi Goldberg got herself involved in such an amateurish project, as there's a big difference between supporting a cause and agreeing to be part of a mediocre production. All the performances were terrible, but Sheen's acting in particular is so laughably bad that by the end of the movie I felt truly embarrassed for him. The script is extremely weak and lame - the dialogue between some of the characters is stupid and totally unnecessary in moments of tension that are supposed to be serious. The so called "comic relief" fails miserably and it clearly makes the scenes cringy and awkward for the actors themselves. The characters are so unlikable and annoying that at some point you actually stop caring about them, and when you have such a limited acting cast and this situation occurs you know the movie is in serious trouble. Generic camerawork and choppy editing makes the technical aspect of the production seem boring and unattractive. The overall tone of the movie is very confusing, as sometimes it feels like a low-budget horror film and other times it has the comedic vibe of a parody. All in all this has to be one of the absolute worst films of 2017.

This is a fictional account of 5 people stuck in an elevator during the 9/11 attack. We are given quick character build-up on all five plus the operator. Charlie Sheen could have played himself. The film used stock footage of the attack and inserted an anachronistic speech by President Bush. The characters were not that note worthy. There are far better films of people stuck in an elevator. The dialogue wasn't great. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

When I saw Charlie Sheen and Gina Gershon were both in this flick (I love both of them and inadvertently fell upon the listing), I was like "cool" . . . and then disheartened when I saw the 3.6 rating. After scanning the reviews here, I felt like the lower ratings weren't 'on' and so I decided to go ahead and check it out. Happy I did. It was a really good movie all in all and the performances of everyone were pretty much outstanding, possibly even the best of the lead act-resses'/-ors' careers and I can't think of a negative thing to say about it either, so check it out.

I really don't get the negative reviews. The movie starts with some background into the characters and delves a bit deeper into those during the movie. I started to identify with each and sat on the edge of my seat encouraging them to escape. Although a bit slow at times, and mostly filmed in an elevator, the build-up of the fear and personal closeness in the characters combined with their determination to survive was riveting to watch. There is some action and scenes in other locations to keep the pace going. Solid performances by Whoopi Goldberg, Charlie Sheen and all the other cast makes this a must watch. The ending sealed the deal for me, I won't spoil it but it's in my opinion the most emotional part.
