jadejackie Didn't expect much from this movie....... I put it on as background noise and ended up being intrigued. It's short enough to not feel boring or drawn out but long enough to get the point across. Classic cat and mouse game luckily the mouse knows his way around the office.Almost felt believable the whole way through until u see more than one "exit" sign throughout the movie and can't help but think, why didn't he just take the stairs ? Surely a large law firm building complies with simple safety protocol, right? If you can overlook the obvious way out, it's a fun movie. I kind of liked the ending as it kept the suspense going even after the credits rolled. It is a thriller after all. It makes you wonder what happens next.

rackhamuni09 It's billed as a Comedy Drama and as I always do with new programmes, I watched the first episode. The pace of the episode was so slow that I felt it actually stopped a few times. It was billed as a comedy but the writers forgot to put any funny lines into the script. With gratuitous drug taking, stealing and drinking its just like any new programmes from first time Writers, Producers etc who think they know what the people want but miss by a country mile. There's no real back story so we don't care who the characters are and why they're being moved to the Northampton branch of the business and their attempts to get back to the Head Office in London. There is constant use of F**k and a few times C**t is used by both male and female characters. I thinks the Writers are going for the shock factor with all the swearing, as they believe that it's what younger people want to hear but even they don't like the over use of the F word and most people, both young or old, actually hate the C word. I'll consider watching episode 2 too see if it improves but I don't hold out much hope.

Argemaluco I thought that, after the successful Captain America: The First Avenger, director Joe Johnston would exclusively dedicate himself to make high-profile films. But no; his following film ended up being a modest straight-to-DVD thriller... something which isn't bad. The problem comes from the fact that the film is mediocre. Not Safe for Work counted with the appropriate ingredients for a modern thriller: an intelligent main character with a fair motivation; sinister corporative villains willing to do anything to preserve their earnings; and the obligatory use of technology to solve (or create) problems and increment the tension. Unfortunately, Not Safe for Work feels insipid, with a fluid and accessible structure, but emotionally empty. While I was watching this movie, I was trying to find the missing element. The screenplay might not offer big displays of ingenuity or creativity, but it's efficient and concise, avoiding any filler and taking us from one event to the other without obfuscating us or relying on excessive coincidences. I think the guilty one is Johnston, an usually skillful and sure director who, in this case, didn't bring enough energy to make the movie come to life. And worsening the situation, the performances from Max Minghella, Christian Clemenson and Eloise Mumford are as apathetic and lacking of personality as the direction. In conclusion, Not Safe for Work is a mediocre, but moderately entertaining thriller which deserves a slight recommendation. But in the context of Johnston's career, it feels like an unexplainable anomaly, even if he was just trying to "cleanse the palate" of special effects and big budgets (for the case, he had already done something similar with the brilliant drama October Sky). I just hope that Johnston hasn't lost his ability to tell stories with much more enthusiasm and personality than in Not Safe for Work.

daggersineyes I think it deserves more than it's current rating of 5. This is a very tight, well directed & acted one-location thriller that can hold it's own against thrillers that had a much larger budget. The actors in this were all fantastic especially the two leads - "Tom" and the exceptionally creepy "hitman". I do love a well acted bad guy!! :) There isn't a lot to say about this flick. It has a fairly simple plot that isn't tremendously original but it's done so darn well it doesn't matter. Could have used a bit more action and maybe more character development but it's nevertheless well worth watching. Delightful! Far better than the eerily similar recent release "Free Fall"
