There's nothing wrong with Paranoia that a stronger director, livelier leading actors and several hundred fewer narrative conveniences wouldn't cure.

Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
Rotten

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.

Ernest Hardy, Village Voice
Rotten

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.

David Lewis, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten

Corporate thrillers just aren't what they used to be.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Rotten

In a movie about a new generation's hunger to topple the old guard, pretty boy Hemsworth is outclassed by his veteran costars, who get more mileage from baring their teeth than he does baring his chest.

Andrea Gronvall, Chicago Reader
