The Post-9/11 world has forever changed our notion of privacy. There are now approximately 30 million surveillance cameras generating more than four billion hours of footage every week in the United S...( read more  read more... )tates. And, the numbers are only growing. The average American is captured over 200 times a day--in department stores, gas stations, changing rooms, and even public bathrooms. No one is spared from the relentless, unblinking eye of cameras hidden in every nook and cranny of day-to-day life. Shot entirely from the point of view of the security cameras. Adam Rifkin's "Look" follows several interweaving, storylines over the course of a random week in a random city. A high school English teacher tries his best to be a decent husband; a department store floor manager uses the warehouse for more than just storage; a Mini-Mart clerk has big dreams; a lawyer struggles with a sexual dilemma; and two sociopaths thrive on ruining the lives of random strangers. "Look" tells five private stories which unfold before the prying eye of the covert camera to chilling effect. We all choose to hide aspects our lives from those around us, whether it is as benign as picking our noses in an empty elevator or something much darker. "Look" poses the pivotal question: Are we always alone when we think we are?

    I expected a lot more from this movie then what I got. Lots of T&A, beautiful young women, not real point other then we are on camera where ever we go and when someone wants to use it against us they will. One of those put the kids to bed early movies. Really not a Movie but a Do...( read more)cumentary. 1/2 star, pointless.

    Short Cuts with surveillance cameras. Unfairly overlooked writer/director Rifkin creates a fascinating film by following multiple characters stories using only footage of them from various forms of video surveillance (I had no idea so much video surveillance cameras recorded aud...( read more)io, but I'm willing to overlook that nitpick because I enjoyed the film so much). Some stories are horrifying and some simply tragic, but all of them are entertaining and well performed. It's a shame this movie never got a decent release, but much like Rifkin's best films, will eventually become hidden gems. And for Dark Backward fans, check out the advertisement on the bus!

    Five interconnected stories unfold as they are exposed through the hundreds of hidden cameras they pass in their daily lives. The creative film is an interesting exploration of privacy and isolation in modern society.

    Funny, depressing, disturbing and about as true as fiction can get. Adam Rifkin is truly a director who does whatever kind of movie he wants. The whole movie is told through surveillance cameras, and though you may think that it would get old, believe me it doesn't.

    This is a creative way to put different story lines together in a movie, using surveillance cameras. Real cameras or not, I enjoyed the way it was filmed. We watched it at CineVegas 2007.

    There are, according to Look's opening credits, approximately 30 million surveillance cameras in the US generating more than 4 billion hours of footage every week. And there are even more in the UK. These cameras are often intrusive and of very little, if any, practical value.

    T...( read more)he rapid expansion of the use of hidden cameras is a serious issue and one that has a range of repercussions for both privacy and civil liberties and is an issue that does need to be both highlighted and discussed. Unfortunately, Look falls a long way short of achieving this
