Paranoia Reviews
It simply feels too antiquated to actually elicit anything resembling an audience response.
| Original Score: 1.5/4.0 | Sep 19, 2020
Non-stop intrigue that will have you on the edge of your seat, Paranoia connects on every level.
| Nov 27, 2019
Another bungled disappointment from Robert Luketic.
| Aug 22, 2019
There's no character to root for, no heart, and all else feels like window dressing.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Apr 17, 2019
Paranoia is far from original, but it still boasts a great cast, some suspense, and entertainment.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 14, 2018
A heavy-slog industrial espionage thriller indifferently directed.
| Original Score: C+ | Mar 2, 2017
If there's nothing hideously embarrassing about Paranoia, there's nothing really right either.
| Original Score: D+ | Jun 28, 2016
Director Robert Luketic [does] nothing beyond his contractual obligations (which presumably read, "Um, make a movie, I guess").
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Apr 16, 2016
Paranoia is professional in every way, but there's no pulse to it. It is entirely adequate, livened up only by a few supporting turns.
| Original Score: C | Jul 23, 2014
It's a premise that stands or falls on the tense fate of a charismatic lead and dialogue that does not clang right off the screen; a woeful lack of both ensures Paranoia more than falls -- it collapses.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 23, 2014
There's nothing wrong with Paranoia that a stronger director, livelier leading actors and several hundred fewer narrative conveniences wouldn't cure.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 23, 2014
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.

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.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 23, 2014
It's rather a slight affair.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 23, 2014
It's slickly directed by Robert Luketic even though it's all pretty unbelievable. But in fact I rather enjoyed it.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 23, 2014
A couple of business rivals trying to steal each other's cell phone secrets is just not that gripping to watch unfold, especially when it's anchored by such a dull protagonist.
| Original Score: 5.8/10 | Jul 23, 2014
[A] garbage movie.
| Original Score: 0/5 | Jul 23, 2014
Even as a straight-to-DVD release, this would fail to pass muster.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 23, 2014
The twists aren't surprising, the perils feel artificial, and even Hemsworth's chest gets a little ho-hum after a while.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 23, 2014
Ford gives it the old college try and it's decently paced but it's not enough to elevate it from the muck and mire of a boring script made by an unimaginative director.
| Original Score: D | Jul 23, 2014
