marieltrokan A limitation, which defends itself with style is a limitation that defends itself with limitation. A limitation that defends itself with limitation is a limitlessness that wounds itself with limitlessness.A limitlessness is an eternity. An eternity is timelessness. Timelessness is impossible. An impossibility that wounds itself with an impossibility is a possibility that defends itself with possibility.A possibility that defends itself is a possible self-defence. A possible self-defence is an impossible defence. A possible impossible defence is a possible defence of the impossible - a possible defence of the outrageous.A possible defence is an impossible injury. An impossible injury that's outrageous is an impossible injury that's immoral.An impossible injury that's immoral is a possible protection that's moral.A possibility is a mystery. A protection is a prevention. A mysterious prevention is a certain admittance. A certain admittance isn't a certainty, or an admittance. A certain admittance is the illusion of certainty and it's the illusion of admittance. The illusion of certainty is the fact of mystery. The illusion of admittance is the fact of exit. A fact of exit is a mystery of place - a fact of mystery is impossible, but a mystery of place is possible.Penthouse North is about the morality of an impossibility having the right to be possible and a possibility having the right to be impossible
nikster-48731 we couldn't even finish this as it was ridiculous from the get-go. UM. you're in an apt bldg - maybe scream or something? I love love love Michael Keaton but he seemed very fake and uninterested and it was "everything that could go wrong" could type thing..Sorry, a waste of the 30mn we forced ourselves to sit through.
Jurjen van der Hoek The current rating of 5.5 for this excellent movie is way too low. I just watched it and while some of the reviewers criticize it for its simplicity and lack of twists, i would say that is what gives the movie its power. These reviewers just missed the point. Indeed, there are no moments where you jump out of your chair or scream out in fear: that would make it a horror movie. This is a solid thriller with good acting. The story line is simple but effective, and the movie does not need any more complexity or double layers. It is just perfect as it is. Actually, i think the makers have done a great job in making the simple story line interesting enough to be glued to your seat all the time, wanting to know whats going to come next. And there is enough suspense to make it exciting all the way through.
Paul Magne Haakonsen The storyline in "Penthouse North" was fairly generic and predictable, but it still made for an entertaining enough movie. However, it is not the type of movie that you watch more than once.The story is about a war photographer by the name of Sara, who loses her eyesight while on assignment. Years later, living a reclusive life with her boyfriend, Sara comes home to find her boyfriend murdered and the killer still in the apartment.Story-wise then "Penthouse North" wasn't particularly innovative or outstanding, but it was entertaining enough for what it turned out to be. It was adequately paced, but didn't really have many 'edge-of-your-seat' moments, which a good thriller should have.What made the movie watchable was the acting performances of Michelle Monaghan and Michael Keaton.There are far better and exciting thrillers available, but "Penthouse North" is still worth giving a chance. Who knows, it might just be what you have been looking for.
