If you are looking for an intriguing, well-crafted thriller, then The Loft delivers. It has a good plot, plenty of mystery, and lots of twists and turns. The direction is good and the story is pieced together quite cleverly to keep the viewer guessing right until the end. For these elements I applaud the movie and would definitely recommend it.
BUT!
The lead characters are all horrible people, fighting amongst themselves to see who is the most horrible. Then they are all surprised when they find these bad things had also been done to them, behind their backs.
The wives of these horrible people were not fleshed out with any depth and as a result they appeared bland.
The casual lovers were the more serious victims of these stupid games that the horrible lead characters were playing.
I had no issues at all with any of the acting, I think that everyone did a great job in their respective roles. I just didn't like any characters in this movie and frankly wanted all the guys to end up losing everything.
As a thriller is was worth a watch.
6/10, but this would have been higher if some of the main characters had made me care about them.
