Rumor from Ground Control

8 reviews
1/10

Please stop with the glowing reviews!

This movie is pure trash. I watched it for 30 minutes and I have no idea what is going on. I honestly don't know what the movie is about. The reporter has a lead on a story but you don't really know what it is. Characters appear without any pretext as to who they are; I have no idea who they are or what they have to do with the story? It's a confusing mess. The one positive aspect? The female lead is very nice looking. Very nice.

I don't know what this is, but it's bad.

Horrible dialog, annoying characters, and an over complicated and pointless plot.

Riveting, well-crafted thriller

Well Bravo to this great film! I am so glad a friend of mine recommended it to me. Rumor from Ground Control is a riveting, edge of your seat thriller that keeps you guessing until the very end. I actually watched it twice because I was so impressed with the plot twists, I had to go back and see them again. The cinematography and set design are superb, but honestly, the best part if the whole film itself, the unravelling of the story is worth the watch. Excellent. Definitely a recommendation for all my friends!!

A tense thriller

Rumor from Ground Control is a tense thriller about a journalist who is trying to uncover the truth behind the mysterious death of an astronaut, uncovering indications that what has occurred is much more complex and sinister than what has been acknowledged.

The film had my attention throughout as I was eager to piece together the truth like the journalist lead. The tension escalates throughout the film, ratcheting up as we learn that there may be a wide reaching conspiracy behind the death.

I enjoyed the acting in this film and I was very happy to see Pete Gardner in a supporting role in the film. Gardner might be most recognizable from his recent work in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Rumor from Ground Control has excellent cinematography and is overall a very well executed indie film. I would highly recommend checking out Rumor from Ground Control if you are looking for a tense conspiracy thriller!

A palpable tension the builds throughout the film

This indie film delivers a a slow burn thriller. There is a palpable tension the builds throughout the film as the story unfolds. It is complemented by a solid cast. The lead gives a stoic performance with a intensity that keep you on the edge of your seat. The score is notable as it intensifies the story. Excellent work by the director and the director of photography. This is a exceptional indie film. I think if they had million in the budget we'd call it a block buster. Two thumbs up.

Was captivated from start to finish. Loved it

This is a tightly written and expertly executed suspense from writer/director Seaton Lin. I was thoroughly engaged for its entirety. The female lead, while maybe not likable to some, was a refreshing change for me, because she just is who she is and is doing her job without apology. It had strong performances all around and lovely cinematography. The edits were invisible, not used stylistically, but strongly in service to the story. And the story reins supreme here, it had me at the edge of my seat. Excellent feature debut!

Excellent thriller.

This is a story about a very brave journalist who always looks for the truth. The main character is a brave, strong and talented person. Showing a certain person, the producer at the same time created an aggregated image reflecting complex character of a modern woman who wants to be a good journalist. The message is nobody cares about the truth, because it costs too expensive. In my opinion, this movie shows a metaphor of modern mass media. Bosses are always protected and they don't care about photographers or journalists. They can change anyone anytime. They are their bosses, and journalists or other specialists are just expendable to them. This movie is a combination of very well written script, excellent camera work and beautiful actors. Highly recommended.

Finally a movie that keeps you wondering

This is a well thought out movie. The lead actress is very well cast and took me on a journey. I hate when movies try and run to the end, this was a pleasant change. It is beautifully filmed. More film makers should take an example from this movie when telling there story. Sometimes its the journey not the destination. I enjoyed the twist at the end. GOOD JOB
