The performances feel natural, improvised, and it's easy to believe this is the world we inhabit.
Maureen M. Hart, Chicago Tribune
Overview
Interconnected stories are told entirely through images captured on security cameras in storage rooms, police cars, parking lots, shopping malls and other locations. Store manager Tony has affairs with the women who work under him, high schooler Sherri schemes to seduce teacher Berry, a pedophile stalks his next victim at a mall food court and two thieves go on a killing spree that links to other tales witnessed by the unseen electronic eyes.

If the idea is that we're always being watched, why does it seem that in this movie, no one's really paying attention?
Noel Murray, AV Club
Rotten
There are some funny moments, plus occasional nudity and sex, but the joke quickly wears off. What might have worked as a half-hour TV show doesn't suit itself to a feature-length film.
V.A. Musetto, New York Post

Orwell would have loved it.
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News
Rotten
With its emphasis on its interweaving stories, the movie offers no commentary on the phenomenon of increasingly pried-apart privacy, positive or negative.
Michael Ordona, Los Angeles Times
