- QuizThe newspaper clipping in Jane Redding's wallet says:
Neil Redding, Tragic Victim of Collapsed Economy. By Samantha Halbert, Cleveland Spectator.
Neil Redding, 76, was pronounced dead yesterday, the apparent victim of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The body was discovered at 6:20 PM, by his wife, Jane Redding. She told investigating officers that her husband had become increasingly depressed after learning that their life savings was lost by a New York investment firm. Investigating officers ruled out any suggestion of foul play, and determined the death was suicide. The wound was caused by a U.S. Army service revolver once owned by ther son, Jeffery Redding. Jeffery Redding died in the US invasion of Iraq. Ms. Redding said, "After Jeffery's death, my husband found it hard to regain his footing. When we lost our money, it was too much." Ms. Redding said that a memorial service would be held for close friends at a date yet to be determined.

Recensione in evidenza
"Elevator" in most respects has a pretty simple plot - almost too simple, which made me think it would be rather thoughtless. A bunch of people are stuck on an elevator - and there happens to be a bomb among them. So, the question is, can they get unstuck in time before the bomb goes off.
There's nothing complicated or pretentious here, and the movie is barebones. Except for a few minutes in both the opening and the closing, the entire movie is set on the crowded elevator. At first, they don't know there's a bomb, and you basically just watch the group dynamic among a diverse group of people who deal with being trapped in a variety of ways - from complete calm to claustrophobia. For a while I was thinking that just the story of this diverse group being stuck together could have made for an interesting study of group dynamics without the bomb, and I was wondering if introducing the bomb was necessary. The bomb actually worked surprisingly well. The whole group dynamic study was still there, but the introduction of the added tension worked very well to ratchet this up.
None of the characters were well developed, but we learn enough about them as they interact on the elevator to at least get a sense of who they are. None of the actors are major stars. The best known and most recognizable to me was probably Jerry Slotnick. That lack of a big name created more a of a composite cast and helped us focus on the group rather than on one individual within the group. There are some story points that didn't work all that well for me. The reporter beaming some video out on her cell phone seemed contrived; and the attempt to free the elevator using a small crack through which an arm could be reached had predictable results - why would anyone even try that, given that the result of any success was so obvious? All things considered though I was surprised by how watchable I found this, made even more so by its very short (1:20) run time. (7/10)
