Critics Consensus

Clichéd and unoriginal, Paranoia is a middling techno-thriller with indifferent performances and a shortage of thrills.

Paranoia (2013) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune There's nothing wrong with Paranoia that a stronger director, livelier leading actors and several hundred fewer narrative conveniences wouldn't cure. Rated: 2/4 Jul 23, 2014 Full Review Paranoia (2013) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Ernest Hardy Village Voice This is a film at odds with itself, wanting to be a 99 percenter rallying cry but wallowing in and fetishizing 1 percenter accoutrement at every turn. Jul 23, 2014 Full Review Paranoia (2013) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) David Lewis San Francisco Chronicle Paranoia, a ho-hum thriller about corporate spying in the high-tech world, comes off as a lot more preposterous than paranoid, and it takes no more than a few frames for the eye rolling to commence. Rated: 1/4 Jul 23, 2014 Full Review Paranoia (2013) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com It simply feels too antiquated to actually elicit anything resembling an audience response. Rated: 1.5/4.0 Sep 19, 2020 Full Review Paranoia (2013) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Non-stop intrigue that will have you on the edge of your seat, Paranoia connects on every level.

James B This movie was okay. Maybe sophisticated film buffs think it's mediocre at best, or perhaps even (gasp) predictable, but this really wasn't a bad movie.I agree it's hard to put on a great performance beside actors like Oldman and Ford, but the rest of the cast did alright.This is about a young tech guy getting in over his head and being manipulated by a greedy corporate head to spy on his rival. Soon enough he realises this and has to find a way out. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/07/24 Full Review Test T Some of this was really cool. Gary Oldman and Harrison Ford were great as the tech boss rivals, but the other characters were not so good, and just too ordinary. I got the impression that amongst the cool scenes, there was a lot of dull everyday stuff included to use up audience time before the ending arrives which squandered much of the films ideas and potential to thrill. Somewhat disappointing overall, but I'm still pleased I watched it. (Oh, and I enjoyed the music) Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/16/23 Full Review Jelisije J A very generic stereotypical predictable corporate espionage film. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/15/23 Full Review Hatidzhe T Loved the movie but watched in 2022 and hated Amber Heard in it. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review steve d They spent so much $ getting talent around its young star they forgot to get him a script. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review carlos t Minha opinião: Um filme de 2013, mas você pode assistir que o assunto é bem atual. Com um elenco de peso. Um filme com a trama de #espionagem industrial. Onde o embate esta entre Harrison e Gary. O jovem Lian tenta entrar em uma grande corporação, mas usa equipe não passa. Mas todos estão necessitando de dinheiro e Lian ainda mais por causa de seu pai. Eles acabam clonando o cartão de crédito de Gary e são pegos por ele. Ai onde há proposta para Lian se infiltrar na empresa Harrison e roubar o segredos dele, para que ele fique livre e não vá preso, em 1ª instancia, mas depois recebe ameaças que irão matar seu pai,...... Lian se envolve com Amber que é uma funcionária de Harrison, e rouba segredos usando os passe de Amber na empresa. Até que chega o dia do cheque-mate. E tudo é desmascarado por todos. Porem Liam tinha um Ás nas mangas.Roteiro: Um roteiro bem legal, ao estilo de "Os Infiltrdos" com #dicaprio e @mattdamonVale apena assistir? Sim valeNota: 7,5 Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
