| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckDirector Conor Allyn’s idea of enhancing a fight scene is employing such stale devices as freeze frames and split screens. |

| User ReviewRob ATerrific movie! Great twists and turns, clever direction and nice performances in a darkly comic thriller about underexplored milieu of high-stakes LA real estate. Definitely recommend it to lovers of money-and-murder films, Rob Lowe and Burt Reynolds, so wonderful to see him still kicking tail in the movies! |
| User ReviewJake AThe real estate cult classic we've been waiting for! |
| User ReviewTracy TLoved it! Full of twists and turns, Rob Lowe and fabulous Malibu mansion. |
| User ReviewFlickman123I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this movie. OK, I'll admit it. I'm in real estate myself and when I came across a title that had direct industry implications, I was both excited but skeptical. So I watched out of principal, just to see how a yarn could be spun around what is essentially a by the book business. Much to my delight, "Pocket Listing" turned out to be a hilarious, engaging, incisive, and supremely well-acted comedy/drama thriller with just about everything that a viewer, let alone a broker, could ask for from a movie about crooked realtor affairs. First off, the story is full of fun twists and turns, the performances from the leading man (very easy on the eyes I must say) and the leading lady (absoloutely drop dead) are terrific, the supporting turns from Lowe and Reynolds are spot on, the Malibu villa itself is to die for, and everything about this film is just engrossing and engaging. Now as a realtor, I must confess that things don't exactly work the way they do in this film -- imagine this as real estate on pumped up glamour steroids -- but watching things get out of hand is part of the fun. |
| User Reviewloganharold"It's not real friends... it's real estate." Hell of a quote encapsulating the cutthroat business of real estate and the murky waters of L.A. movers and shakers featured in this superb dark comedy. Great performances from a fresh faced cast, including the super charismatic Jurdi and the gorgeous bombshell Clark. |
| User Reviewivy1A Guy Ritchie style, highly entertaining flick involving realtors, gangsters of all kinds, a hot babe, a badass Rob Lowe, and a Malibu villa. |
| User ReviewDaniel DA must watch for anyone who knows anything about real estate and enjoys watching beautiful people in gorgeous settings doing some very bad things. |
| User Reviewchrisrank88Somewhat reminded me of the classic satire "The Player" but transplanted into the L.A. real estate scene. Engaging performances and some fun surprise twists keep the viewer glued. |
