Every Breath You Take Reviews
It’s a psychological thriller that leaves most of the psychology buried and unexplored. So we’re left with undercooked characters, thinly sketched motivations, and a story begging for more attention and detail.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 17, 2022
Good looks aside, this film is a bit of a mess, and it is hard to suspend your disbelief when so many questionable things are happening up on screen.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 15, 2022
Both the writing and filmmaking do very little to make the story creative, and the results are a lethargic narrative lacking any sense of urgency in its pace are intrigue with its characters.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Jun 5, 2022
The clunking predictability of the plot makes it impossible for director Vaughn Stein to generate any suspense, but he does make the most of the atmospheric scenery.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 14, 2021
Despite not possessing any real surprises, Every Breath You Take still manages to maintain interest.
| Aug 26, 2021
A deeply pedestrian psychological thriller that uses the hoary old cliché of a dead child as its emotional ballast.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 23, 2021
Fine performances and a decent understanding of the formula fall down when there's no human touch. Well made, but underwhelming.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 23, 2021
Little of what follows makes sense, but we learn that director Vaughn Stein enjoys the visual appeal of floor to ceiling windows, ominous piano scores and a blue-grey colour scheme that suggests a need for Vitamin D.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 21, 2021
It's gloomy and dull, and a little bit up itself.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 21, 2021
Every Breath You Take, sadly, doesn't practice what it preaches. In servicing its tonal disquiet to the brink of staleness, every breath it manages is a heave.

One of those trashy thrillers that would deliver the goods if you dozily or tipsily tripped over it on late-night 온라인카지노추천. However, when the price of a cinema ticket is involved, the movie quickly becomes mighty hard to fall for.
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 12, 2021
In a movie that somehow thinks that being as blatant as possible will ramp up the suspense - which, unsurprisingly, it doesn't - only the icy visuals by cinematographer Michael Merriman garner much attention.
| May 3, 2021
A possible success of a movie that is submarined by a cheap shot at horror.
| Original Score: 5/10 | May 1, 2021
The tone is so stifling, it'd make a lousy hate-watch.

If you're going to make a potboiler like this, restraint isn't the right way to go.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 9, 2021
While some plot points will likely leave you shaking your head, the film has the potential to foster empathy and understanding about the fact that we all handle our trauma differently.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 8, 2021
If I took nothing else, I took away a reminder and a warning from "Every Breath You Take." Yes, good actors do make bad movies. And beware the therapist who overshares.
| Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Apr 8, 2021
A wearisome psychological thriller in the form of a revenge film, that fails to live up to its intriguing premise.
| Original Score: C+ | Apr 8, 2021
A sluggish take on dangerous mistakes and mental chess, also lacking a level of sexuality that usually fuels cheap thrills.
| Original Score: D+ | Apr 7, 2021
It's disorienting and very, very dumb.
