Overdramatic and non sense and stupid storyline. Filming is bad but the worst is the storyline and acting. What's the point to make this ? Any benfit and thoughts this movie bring to audience? NIL and not entertaining at all.

Such drama for a man who is stuck on an elevator for a couple of hours. This is so bad. The characters aren't even likable. And I don't think most of the actors took acting lessons. And the crying over and over...

Instead of finding a way out, he cries the whole time until he passes out?!

Oh, and the dream sequences...this is so painful to watch. And the nurse in the hospital who basically shocks the entire family including two little girls...I can't...

And then everything is so dramatc. God, irs so painful to watch...unless you take this as a comedy in which you'll laugh your head off.

Honestly, who wrote this? It's terrible.

This is a filmed school play. The acting is terrible, the sets are cheap, the lighting this horrendous, and the dialogue sounds like it was written by a teenager.

I usually like Etic Roberts, but he could have phoned in most of his part as you can not even see most of what he "cried" as the elevator is so dark you don't know what he's doing.

The "daughters" are so obnoxious you really don't even care for them as characters. The mother and son overcast so much that their lines come across so campy it is laughable.

It's 90 minutes of my life ill never get back, I wish I believed the other reviews.

Nothing to say about this waste of time. Just a horribly put together piece of trash...I cannot understand how some people can justify spending money to come up with such a horrible script for one and have the acting be so brutal.

A "Christian Movie" that is blasphemous.

The best connection was between the son and his mom- that seems more like his stepmom that he's having an affair with. It was awkward.

He's stuck in an elevator for a couple hours; has a mental break down then writes a will. When he gets rescued he's unconscious and they make mention of how hot it was in the elevator but during the movie, not once does he mention being hot or thirsty.

I don't know the ending, I shut it off.

Nothing else need to be said.....this movie is a straight dumpster fire....if you need to waste 90 minutes of your life please watch...acting was mediocre...writing on par with that of a high school student written play..

I rented this, because Eric Roberts is fun to watch slumming it up.

He wasn't quite as cringey as his "Stalked by my Doctor" aka Dr. Albert Beck performances, but he had many moments that made me decide not to ask Amazon for my money back.

Otherwise, this was about as bad as it gets. The dialogue was on par for a bad 6th grade creative writing project and bad acting rivaled only by 80's Italian horror films.

I'm convinced that all of the 5-star reviews were from friends, family or people that the producer promised a $5 Boston market gift card; in exchange for a good review.

Bonus:

The theme song to this movie had to be written and performed by people that Simon Cowell advised to never sing in public.

Eric Roberts either did this movie for free or needed to pay his electric bill.

The acting is cringeworthy I usually rate movies 4 or more because I don't like to be critical of others or their work...but I want to save you some time...please find anything else to watch.

90mins of Eric Roberts crying in an elevator while his son and Second wife screw off camera. I don't understand why the intro is 10 min long and what's the deal with the song my buddy actually gets people off stuck elevators and he says there's so meny holes and not just between the son and wife.

I felt embarrassed whatching this. Such bad acting, everything is over reacted. Direction is a joke. Firefighters entering the building as if they were zombies at slow pace and looking at the camera! .... Total disaster!

This must be the worst film I have ever watched. Acting was pathetic by all those supposed actors. I just hope they weren't getting paid for this rubbish. Have seen better in a 1st year school play.

This was hands down the worst movie I have ever seen! Terrible acting - especially the mom and the birthday girl, who kept looking at the camera! And the doctor - "oh thank God!" And the nurse - "if you pray you better pray for him". Are you kidding? I'm a nurse and no health professional would ever talk like that. Where did they get these actors? You can't even call them that! Actors looking at the camera, the mom's accent?? Her crying scenes were so not believable. What was Eric Roberts thinking when he agreed to this script? He's been demoted from the decent actors list. Absolute garbage! What a waste of my time!! DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE! You can't even call it that. A kindergarten class could put on a better show than this! I cannot believe someone spent a penny making this utterly unbelievable show. GARBAGE!!!!

Horrible boring movie, every review on here is true. Terrible acting, terrible production. I wish there was a zero star option. I can't come up with 150 characters as required, it's that bad.

The blonde girl was the grand kid. The movie was soo under budget that he young actress had to bring her own doll on set to us. Birthday scene moment is her cousins and a few friends to make it look like something. They used Cantiague Park (Hicksville, NY) for the place the son does his runs. The "city office building" was an old hotel building that was rundown on old country rd, Hicksville, NY. And the "city fire department" was actually Hicksville, NY volunteer fire department. As you see on the fire truck and the jackets..guess film crew was hoping to crop that out. Only cute thing for me was the fact that an old retired fire chief got to act. And I could tell that was genuine compared to the rest of the actors. Last the "city hospital" was Nassau country medical center in Nassau county, NY. They used the underside area to make it look different. Pretty much finding cheap locations that couldn't cut well or match up to the driving city shots.

Director could learn a thing or two I from how power rangers are adapted from Japanese show Super Sentai. At least the scene setting makes better sense.

My wife and I really enjoyed this!

The pace was nice and deliberate which allowed you to see the family dynamics intimately and become grounded with everyone too. Neat to see Eric Roberts here in this role as an older parent trying to stay connected to his family. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

All that was required for this movie was extra large, overly white teeth one bad acting skills! Kid actors were found in some bargain basement workshop. I do hate to be mean but this was the worst movie I've seen in a long time. The mother couldn't speak proper English and Dad was pushing 80!! Please stop underestimating the general public by trying to push these ageing stars on us and foreign women too. Don't we have enough US and Canadian excellent actors screaming for work? You just have to go with bottom of the barrel $$ and foist this crap on us. No thank you!! I was told my review was too short for publication so here goes...... WHY put out three terrible movies, when you could put out two good ones? I fail to see the point of ruining your reputation. You will eventually ruin your reputation because people will shy away from any movie put out by your company. Why should they bother when it will be more of the same. For you to keep repeating this just doesn't make good business sense.

I want to know why Roman panics - it's late afternoon on a Saturday and yes I might go a little crazy and panic a little bit but to the extent that Roman does - like writing a letter as if it's his last? That's a little dramatic even for a movie. My biggest concern would be; as I said - would I panic and how would I use the bathroom? Someone is bound to return by Monday at the latest. I would even guess, this is advertised as being New York, there might even be 24/7 security guards in these buildings. If not, I would be surprised. Idk maybe he's claustrophobic? I just think it was a little overboard and I love Eric Roberts acting - usually.

This movie is literally so dumb. This has to be a joke. Please tell me this is a joke. Like someone said, "Hey, let's make a horribly stupid movie with a story line that makes no sense what so ever!" Then another person was like... "Yeah, and we will over dramatize it and make sure everyone's acting seems really fake!" "We will even have them move their eyes back and forth like they are reading cue cards!" Finally, another person was like..."why would we do that?" Everyone shrugs. They make the movie. We watch it. The end. If you think my review was boring and hard to read, you're in for a real treat because I assure you...this movie is WAY worse. 😅😂😂😂

The movie has a good story but most of the acting is absolutely terrible and the two girls are very obnoxious. It almost makes you not want to continue watching. I'm sure there's a lot of young girls that can actually act that they could have used instead of these two. The acting from the older kid Mike and the mother is better than anyone else in the movie. Seeing the firemen strolling into the building with no urgency or caring on their face would be comical if it wasn't so bad. Maybe a better director would have helped? Not sure. As I said, not a bad story but I think proper acting and directing could have made it a much better movie.
