Movie Reviews

The A.V. Club - 3/10 by Scott TobiasIt takes guts to remake what many believe to be Hitchcock's first masterpiece, but what Ondaatje's done with The Lodger could not be mistaken for ambition.
The Hollywood Reporter - 3/10 by Kirk HoneycuttThe film might amuse some, especially fans of Alfred Hitchcock, but is likely to annoy almost everyone else.
Variety - 3/10 by John AndersonWhat needed to be a taut, structurally sound psychothriller instead malfunctions from the start.
Los Angeles Times - 3/10 by Robert AbeleThe biggest mystery, perhaps, is why accomplished actors such as Molina and Hope Davis agreed to be in this.
New York Post - 3/10 by Lou LumenickA good cast can't save The Lodger, the utterly wrongheaded fourth movie version of a 1910 novel inspired by Jack the Ripper.
Village Voice - 2/10 by Ella TaylorNodding, winking, and sighing, The Lodger lumbers its way to a final twist so anticlimactic and silly as to warrant an incredulous titter.
The New York Times - 2/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisProstitutes are not the only things butchered in The Lodger, a spooky story ruined by lumpen dialogue, cloddish performances and a director and writer (David Ondaatje) oblivious to both.
New York Daily News - 0/10 by Joe NeumaierFilled with second-rate Brian DePalma twists, noirishly blurred lights and usually solid actors mouthing potboiler brine, The Lodger resembles bottom-shelf '80s dreck.
User Review - 8/10 by choomtabi31For a low budget film, this was actually a good thriller. I enjoyed Simon Baker in this. Watch it online for free: https://www.primewire.
