    I liked how you could feel so much stress and anxiety when the story was completely told through dialogue basically. It really keeps you invested and Jake Gyllenghaal does a grreat job in this movie!

    Powerful performance by Jake Gyllenhaal, his acting ability is 2nd to none and it’s crazy he has no Oscar… yet. Also kudos to the voice actors here, everyone was amazing. That along with this script equates to about 90 mins of anxiety inducing plot that makes you imagine everything going on, story telling at its finest. I do think it’s like 10-15 mins too long but that’s really the only problem I had.

    The best and most suspenseful crime thriller I have ever seen. I love the subject of the films where it's just one person operating and we see it through phone calls and videos like "Missing" or "Unfriended", and this did not disappoint. Every single moment is tense and you feel nervous about what's going to happen next, the twists are jaw dropping and sweat inducing, it will have you on the edge of your seat. I won't spoil any of it, because this just needs to be seen to understand how phenomenal it as and how good Gyllenhaal is along with it. 9/10

    One of the best pieces of acting I've ever seen. Great story. Reminds me of the imagination one had to use in the radio shows before TV. I would've given it five complete stars had the denouement been shorter.

    Hands down one of the worst films I've seen. Irritating characters that you just cannot warm to in any way and a clunky story. Avoid.

    With a cast this impressive, this should have been the movie of the century. It was worth watching, but I expected to be bowled-over, which I wasn't.

    I thought this was fantastic. It was incredibly entertaining and takes place in only one location, which I liked. Had a nice twist, too.

    Disagree with the negative reviews. This movie is an hour and half of edge of your seat drama. The emotional storyline is told in such a unique manner. It's almost like listening to a book but getting to enjoy seeing Jake Gyllenhall's face for the whole performance. He's easy to look at so for me this movie is a 5 star. The plot twist is great. It keeps the audience captivated until the very end.

    Can see why some people didn't like it, but I personally enjoyed the movie. Wasn't perfect, and the way some of the voice actors spoke a few lines felt out of place for the scenario. The story was great in my opinion, but it's a personal preference thing.
